Martha’s take
Martha (not real name, RadiantLife protects your privacy) a client since 2016, “I love the fact that I do not feel alone or scared, the carers are available at the centre whenever I need them”. “They help me craft a simple weekly schedule I can follow, this gives me a level of independence”.
Getting the care and support you need
The main goal of supported living is to allow you live your life to the fullest whilst maintaining your physical and mental wellbeing. RadiantLife will help you develop your daily living skills, manage your finances, ensure you have access to community services, make sure you are exposed to suitable social activities and help you to maintain your tenancy/supported living. At RadiantLife we care for and support you with managing mental health illnesses such as anxiety and panic disorders, bipolar disorder, depression and personality disorders, we offer person-centred support to develop practical daily living skills, and tools for managing your mental health so that you can self-manage and stay well longer term. We provide people with learning disabilities with the right tools to manage or overcome their challenges by coordinating with local colleges and other organisations within the community which support those with a learning disability. Radiantlife uses a holistic approach when deciding on what care and support to provide, any decision is made with your consent and in line with the right treatment for you. Therefore, we try to understand the person and how they are individually affected by their learning disability.
The right support to maintain your independence
Do you want to stay connected with or start to become more active in your community, RadiantLife can support you. Our social and community participation plans are flexible and completely tailored to you and your goals, and can help you build your self-esteem, enhance your social life and improve your general wellbeing. We understand how important it is to maintain your independence — that’s why we provide a range of daily living supports to help you continue to live life your way. Be it extra help at home, assistance with daily living skills or full time live-in care, RadiantLife will sit with you to assess your needs and proffer the right support tailored to your needs. We understand that social inclusion is very important, so we would work with you to integrate with the community as much as possible, from developing hobbies, engaging in social activities to helping you get the right training for volunteering and employment opportunities in line with your personal recovery goals. . RadiantLife supports people who have learning disabilities, mental health illnesses, behaviours that challenge or other complex needs to live safely and as independently as possible.
Defining your Individuality
The choice of how you make this transition is yours and there are adequate options which RadiantLife makes available. RadiantLife has excellent living facilities at Braintree, Coventry and Maldon centres which enables you to have an array of choices. You can choose to live in a shared home with others which involves having your own bedroom and sharing lounge, kitchen, bathroom etc. Another option if you are up to it, is the possibility to live in a self-contained house/flat which gives you greater independence and control. Alternatively, you can decide to live in your home, in an environment geared at increasing your integration into the community with daily check-in by our staff or even live-in support. Whichever living arrangements you deem suitable for you, our staff are available on site 24hrs to offer support at several points throughout the day and night which gives you the opportunity to live with dignity and greater independence.
