"A bespoke and realistic support plan"

The hostel provides 16 en-suited units of accommodation; 13 units are available for Service Users assessed as having generic needs and 3 units are ring-fenced for Service Users assessed as having multiple complex and personal care needs.

All individuals within this service have a designated Support Worker who works with them from the outset to devise a bespoke and realistic support plan. The tailored support plan will detail how targets will be achieved by the Service User, whilst drawing attention to the resettlement process and addressing the potential move-on opportunities available.
