Meet John

Our staff helped John move from a residential home, supported living shared housing, to his own flat.

Read John's story
"Staff showed sensitivity and tact when responding to people's needs, choices and behaviours. They were respectful and kind when supporting and encouraging people with their daily living activities and lifestyle choices. [...] One person said, "I can do a lot of things, I just need a bit of help." We observed people doing things independently, making their own decisions and sharing responsibilities. This included sharing responsibility for household chores and planning activities. Promoting choice and encouraging independence was reflected in the care plan process."
Care Quality Commission Inspection Report, January 2018

Placement suitability

The criteria for a referral to this service would be someone over 18 years old with a diagnosis of autism.  Funding from a local authority or health trust would need to be in place.  

Characteristics of the people we currently support range from gamers, sports including football, friendly and busy/ loud at times offering opportunities for social interaction when this suits.  The people we support enjoy spending time together in the communal spaces however there is the opportunity to spend time in their own flats should they prefer. 

There is background shared support 24 hours a day 7 days a week this consists of a sleep in member of staff available through the night.  One member of staff available for background support through the day.  Targeted 1:1 support is offered at a minimum of 25 hours a week to each individual on top of the shared support. 

In England the regulatory body CQC is ensuring support providers are providing local services for local people.  Therefore when we receive a referral from outside of the local authority area where our service is, we need to demonstrate we have taken steps to explore meaningful family links or connections to the area.  We would also need a clear rationale from the funder as to why they are seeking an out of county placement.  Therefore not all referrals may be considered for each NAS service.
