Frequently Asked Questions
What does accessing community support involve?
Accessing community support involves helping individuals safely take part in activities outside the home. This may include attending appointments, shopping, visiting friends and family, using public transport, going to community groups, enjoying leisure activities, or building confidence in social settings.
Can carers accompany clients to appointments?
Yes. Our support workers can accompany clients to GP appointments, hospital visits, dental appointments, therapy sessions, pharmacy visits, and other important appointments. We can help with travel, waiting, reassurance, and returning home safely.
Do you help with public transport?
Yes. We can support individuals with buses, trains, taxis, and other local transport options where appropriate. This may include planning the route, travelling together, helping with tickets, offering reassurance, and making sure the journey is safe and comfortable.
Can support be arranged regularly?
Yes. Community Access Support can be arranged on a regular weekly basis, for specific appointments, or as occasional support when needed. Some clients benefit from a consistent routine, while others only need help for certain outings or events.
Is this service suitable for people with disabilities?
Yes. Our community support services can be suitable for people with learning disabilities. We focus on confidence, routine, communication, independence, safety, and personal choice. Support plans are created around the individual’s needs and goals.
Can I combine community support with other services?
Yes. Accessing community support can be combined with personal care, companionship, meal provision, medication assistance, domestic help, respite care, live-in care, or assistance with travelling. We can create a wider care plan if more than one type of support is needed.
How do you create a support plan?
We begin by understanding the individual’s needs, preferences, routines, health conditions, mobility, confidence levels, and personal goals. A local care manager can discuss what support is needed and create a personalised plan that can be reviewed and adapted over time.
How quickly can services start?
The start date depends on the level of support required, availability, and the individual’s needs. After you contact us, a local care manager can arrange a home visit within 72 hours if you choose. During this visit, we can answer questions, discuss requirements, and begin creating a personalised support plan.
