Posted in: Blogs

St Margarets Homecare now offer Supported Living Care

In our latest blog we delve into why these services are so important and how they can help you, or your loved one, continue to live happily in the comfort of your own home.

Supported living helps people with a range of support needs retain their independence whilst still having that extra physical and emotional support needed to lead completely fulfilled lives in their own homes.

There are many benefits to supported living. Some of the main benefits are as follows:

1. Enjoy greater independence

Unlike residential care. which is more suitable for people with complex care needs who are unable to live independently, supported living offers the opportunity to live in your own home with support tailored to your specific needs.

Whether you’re moving out of your parents’ home, transitioning from child top adult services, or are living independently but need more support, supported living can be the perfect option. You will be responsible for things like paying your bills and the upkeep of your home and outdoor spaces – teaching valuable life skills, but also have a space to relax and call home.

2. Live in your own home tailored around your needs

One of the main benefits of supported living is having a home that is tailored and adapted to support your individual needs and requirements. At St Margarets Homecare, we can work closely you top ensure that your home is equipped to complement your needs, our support, to ultimately enable more independent living for you.

Your home may require assistive technology including call systems, hoists, and automatic doors for increased support. St Margarets Homecare can help you with this.

3. The opportunity to create a home you love

One of the most impiortant parts of staying in your own home is the familiarities of your own furniture and the decorations and personal touches that you love and make you feel at home.

With supported living, it’s your choice as to how you’d like to maintain your home, and you can also retain those important finishing touches that suit your own style.

4. Tailored support and care

With supported living, you’ll have the privacy and independence when you need it, with the peace of mind of having our specialist team on hand 24/7 for any support you need.

This help can cover lots of different tasks, including personal care, medication, and finances.  Our aim is to help you live as independently as possible, helping you to develop your skills, form new hobbies, make new friends, and live a truly fulfilling life.
