Respect, dignity, and transparency are the core values we hope to experience when receiving care or a service. In partnership with Cleva Card, Care England believes these values are integral to providing a fantastic service for your clients.
Supported living is a delicate balancing act between safety and dignity, and our Cleva experts are all too aware of this distinction from other care services.
“Supported living provides a different level of care to what people normally expect from a care provider. The client could be living within the community, or perhaps within shared accommodation. Typically, clients are under the age of 65 (considered younger adults). Usually, they will also play a vital and thriving role in their local community and economy”.
– Sarah King, Cleva care expert.
An essential part of mental well-being and confidence for supported living clients is independence. This can be as small as putting away laundry and has a huge impact on a client’s quality of life.
How to Increase Your Clients’ Independence
- Day-to-day decisions: Unlike in a care home, supported living clients don’t have to follow a planned routine. They have more choice, which is essential for maintaining their independence. Involving clients in daily decisions, like planning meals for the week or choosing an activity, builds trust and improves their quality of life.
- Fulfillment: Consider encouraging regular charity work. An average of 40% of adults under 65 volunteer. This is a great way for clients to meet like-minded people in their local community, and it’s proven to reduce loneliness and boost confidence.
- Financially protecting their independence with Cleva: A key part of independence is having control and security over one’s finances. Our award-winning technology provides a secure and transparent way to manage a client’s money, allowing them to remain independent while staying financially safe. This protects them from financial abuse and fraud, giving both the client and their family peace of mind.
