Independent Living Service (ILS)

You may find you require a little extra support to be able to live independently and this is where we can help.

Our Independent Living Service (ILS) provides support in your own home to increase your independence so that you can live a healthy and enjoyable life.

How much support and what type of support you receive is dependent on your needs

Our Support Workers will work with you to create a package of care which will include:

• Teaching you skills including cooking, cleaning and budgeting.
• Helping you to access activities within the local community.
• Helping you to maintain a tenancy.
• Ensure your utility bills are paid.
• Encourage you to keep the property to a good standard.
• Offering emotional support and guidance to improve your mental health and wellbeing.

We will ensure your medical and social care needs are monitored and offer you guidance on how and when to take your medication. Should you need further care or support, we work in partnership with community teams and organisations and can signpost to these if necessary.

If you require 24-hour support, you must be happy to house share with one other person and feel comfortable with a support worker sleeping in a third bedroom overnight. However, if you only require a number of hours support per week, we will devise a care package with you to meet your needs.

People accessing this service have been assessed to be safe in the community but could potentially become unwell quite quickly so need additional support to live well and maintain some independence.

About

If you’re going through a difficult time or are struggling with how you’re feeling, it can be scary and upsetting and you might not know who to turn to for help.

We will listen to you without judgement in a safe environment and work with you to improve your social skills as well as your wellbeing and take away some any immediate pressures

What type of support will I receive?

Our PMHW’s will carry out an assessment to find out more about what kind of support might be suitable for you. The type of support you will be offered will be dependent on this assessment

Who can access this service?

Our PMHW service is for children and young people aged 16 and under, however the support we offer is suitable for the whole family.

If you are a parent or carer and are finding life a little difficult, need additional support to help manage your child’s wellbeing or are worried about violence or substance abuse, we can help.

We can also offer support to help you understand what a care giving role looks like and how it should be received.
