Here’s why families choose supported living

Your loved one will receive the exact support they need, when they need it. This ensures they maintain as much independence as possible. With a tenancy agreement, they have the security of knowing their home is truly theirs. They won’t have to move unless they choose to.

Freedom: Supported living offers far more freedom than residential care homes. Whether it’s managing their own schedule, choosing their own meals, or deciding who they spend time with, your loved one remains in control.

How We Support Independence

At 1 Step Beyond Support, our goal is to help your loved one become as independent as possible while still feeling safe and supported. Some of the ways we support individuals include:

Daily Living Skills: We provide guidance on tasks like cooking, cleaning, shopping, and managing money – things that help individuals maintain their independence.

Health and Wellbeing: We help individuals manage their physical and mental health, whether that’s through medication management, attending medical appointments, or simply being there to talk through any concerns.

Social Connections: We encourage individuals to build strong social connections, whether that’s getting involved in their local community, joining clubs or activities, or simply maintaining friendships.

Family Involvement:
We know that family plays a key role in many individuals’ lives. Whether your involvement is occasional or daily, we ensure you’re as involved as your loved one wants you to be. We maintain open communication and work with families to provide peace of mind, while always respecting the
individuals right to privacy and autonomy.

How We Communicate Progress

We’re committed to keeping both individuals and their families informed. Regular updates, progress reports, and meetings are available to ensure everyone is aware of how the individual is doing. However, this will always be in line with the individual’s wishes regarding what information they would like to share.
