Supported Living
Principals of Enablement
Team Motivate is fully committed to enabling people to live a life of their own choosing, in their own home, for the whole of their life, as included members of their community. To develop and provide Supported Living Services for adults with special needs of both gender, age 18 and over and who may also have learning difficulties or autistic spectrum disorder.
Team Motivate works alongside people according to their needs and abilities, for as long as necessary, often over extended periods, to build their capacities, positive experiences, and successful outcomes. Team Motivate focus is on improving service users quality of life, enabling them to realise their goals, aspirations and wishes.
Full time / Part time
Team Motivate provides full-time/part-time Supported Living Service and high-quality accommodation through housing associations if required within the community, for vulnerable people and people with mild to complex needs. This service is designed to support the individual wants and needs in the most effective way. We ensure the individual is involved in creating their support plan, so we can tailor make the support plan to the individual as we know everyone is unique.
The service is staffed 24 hrs and support is offered around, housing and tenancy management, daily living skills, social inclusion, leisure activities, enablement, and integration into the community. Service users in our Supported Living programme experience greater choice, support from a smaller team which enables greater consistency and continuity of support and the provision of a physical environment that the service user can truly call their own.
Locating Support
Team Motive recognise that locating the right support can be challenging, especially when sustaining your/their independence. We design our Supported Living around the wants and needs of the individual. Team Motivate provides an alternative to residential care as we empower individuals by letting you choose the amount of support and when you need it, so you can live a fulfilled life.
