This summary has been prepared to introduce the aims and objectives of services provided by Waterfield Supported Homes (WSH) Ltd. The prospectus seeks to offer information to service users, organisations, agencies and significant others, who are interested in using our services. Working in conjunction with other professionals, we offer residential social care services to people with mental health issues as a step down from inpatient care or after undergoing in-patient treatment and rehabilitation.
We also offer residential supported living services to individuals with learning disability and mental health issues who wish to be supported to be as independent as possible. Services will be provided by a team of trained nurses, support workers and other mental health professionals, in collaboration with the local community mental health team (CMHT), and the Primary Care Trust services.
Waterfield Supported Homes Ltd was founded in 2003 and registered in 2004 to meet the existing gap within the parameters of Social Care facilities for people with enduring mental health issues. This is in line with the Community Care Act 1990, which advocates the reintegration of individuals into the community. We aim to make available to the service users, patterns and conditions of everyday lives, which are as realistically as close as possible to the norms of and patterns of mainstream society.
Waterfield Supported Homes Ltd aims to promote an all-embracing holistic approach, non-discriminating and non-stigmatising attitude to the management of individuals with learning disabilities, mental health issues (including Dementia), who are discharged from psychiatric hospitals, specialist or from medium secure hospital (Units) and on this basis, provide a quality residential and aftercare services.
Waterfield Supported Homes’ principle is based on encouraging individuals to realise their own and collective potentials. We achieve this by, READ MORE
Waterfield Supported Homes Limited strives to provide consistent high standards of care always. To do this, we try hard to:
The referring authority will provide a named care coordinator (social worker or psychiatric community nurse) who will maintain regular contact with our client and the WSH key worker/ team. Our team will and will provide nursing report and be represented at every Care Programme Approach (CPA) review or Case conference as required by the Multidisciplinary Disciplinary team (MDT).
WSH houses are our client’s homes, and they are encouraged to bring their own items of furniture, television, video, stereo, room decorations (provided the items pass a risk assessment and the electrical items, a certified inspection by our electrical engineer). All valuables must be declared, and safekeeping can be arranged if required (for insurance purposes).
The home is not a secure hospital unit, and WSH cannot be held responsible for clients who leave the home without planning and obtaining the agreement of a member of staff. Clients are expected to plan their journeys with staff on duty and receive appropriate one to one support. Referring officers are required to provide details of clients’ next of kin including contacts in the case of any emergency. The home operates a locked door policy depending on when clients deemed to require additional safety precautions are placed (e g. residents managed on Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards DoLS). Such clients are escorted by staff and other residents can leave the home as they require.
These are arranged for the enjoyment and quality of life of those in our care with the intention of reflecting their interests, wishes and capabilities. At least once a year, we meet to discuss with those in our care, staff, friends, relatives etc. any social activities they would like to have arranged (e.g. CPA reviews). We keep a record of these meetings to confirm who was there, what was agreed etc. This, of course, does not prohibit suggestions at any time which we thoroughly welcome.READ MORE
Most discharges will take place upon completion of their rehabilitation programme and will be through the graduation process determined by MDT. In some cases, premature discharge will be required, specifically to cases related to breach of rules or expectations. In all cases of minor breach of rules and expectations, each case will be decided on an individual basis and appropriate steps taken to inform the Care Manager / Service Purchaser. READ MORE
Anyone in our care will have had, at some time at least, hobbies and interests. We consider it a responsibility of ours to help them maintain/redevelop those interests wherever possible and, if circumstances arise, to explore new hobbies and interests. Just because someone is “in care” does not mean they have lost the interest or necessarily the ability to partake in hobbies and interests. In fact, it may be highly beneficial for them to pursue such things as would be suitable. READ MORE
Those in our care are encouraged to manage their own affairs, make their own decisions and we must be careful not to “disenfranchise” them from doing so. On this basis they are self-advocating. However, a person may be or become unable to exercise their rights to their best interests and a person or persons may be appointed to speak for them in their best interests. READ MORE
RELIGIOUS REQUIREMENTS
Every effort will be made to support our clients in meeting their religious obligations. They will be encouraged to attend the local church or mosque depending on their spiritual needs and choice. Arrangements for local Pastor/Priests or Rabbis may also be made to visit clients as they may require.
Our clients will always be consulted in all aspects of their care. These include their involvement in planning their care, various activities, holidays, recreation, and will be decided in group meetings.
Upon admission, risk assessment is carried out and reviewed with the MDT. Each client is informed of our express intention to protect them and their neighbours from stress, drug and alcohol abuse and to protect their rights within this environment. However, in the event of any crisis, we intend to implement individualised crisis and contingency plan as agreed in their CPA document. This will include implementing section 25 of the Mental Health Act 1983.
