Description

Our highly specialist, independent service improves quality of life for thousands of people, living as independently as they wish. Building skills, growing confidence, and enabling greater social inclusion through high quality and forward-thinking support

We support people with a learning disability to live how and where they choose as some of our supported living services are purpose-built or have been adapted and use technology that helps people to live as independently as possible.

For many people who want to live independently, getting the right care and support is just as important as finding the right home. We can provide personal support to help you with every day things like getting dressed, cooking a meal, taking part in your favourite community based activities.

The support we can provide is totally flexible from a couple of hours a week to 24 hours a day, seven days a week depending on what you need from us.

Eligibility: This service is part of the Registered Providers List. The RPL is set up, monitored and updated by Barnsley Council. If you are an adult in Barnsley who is looking for packages of care and support, you can choose from the list of providers who follow a clear quality framework and have been assessed by the Council. In order to gain Recognised Provider status and the RPL quality mark, providers must meet a number of quality standards, including: •clear agreements with customers •a welcoming approach to customer comments and complaints •considerate and respectful conduct of staff and volunteers •a robust Adult Safeguarding Policy Adults who purchase care and support services using their own money, or through a Direct Payment, are free to choose providers who are not included on the Recognised Provider List. There is no contractual relationship involved in providers appearing on the RPL. The award of the RPL logo to providers is intended to be a quality mark with which people can then make informed choices as to which providers they may decide to use.
