How we create our supported living plans?

At our organisation, we take the time to get to know each person before we create a support plan. We have thorough discussions with the individual, their family, and any relevant care professionals to ensure we have all the necessary information. We recognise and celebrate every achievement and continue to encourage individuals to set new goals for themselves. Our goal is to provide the best possible care and support for each person’s unique situation and future goals. Regular progress reviews are conducted to ensure the support plan is effective and relevant.

What is important when choosing supported living accommodation?

Ensuring that you feel secure, content and at ease within your living space is paramount to your overall health and progress. That’s why we put in our best efforts to craft such habitats. We work closely with real estate developers to design homes, apartments and bungalows that are customised to our care and support, allowing for increased self-reliance. We also collaborate with various housing associations to locate suitable and reasonably priced dwellings for people to reside in, and we’re available to assist with lease agreements where necessary, furnishing individuals with the comfort and safety of their own living quarters. Additionally, we have equipped a range of our properties with assistive technology.

We offer a diverse range of assisted living options and take the necessary time to understand each individual’s preferences and needs. This way, we can determine the ideal location, accommodation, and modifications to meet their present requirements and future ambitions. We recognise the importance of companionship and strive to find like-minded housemates for those who express a desire to live with others. Our assisted living properties are situated in the heart of communities, providing convenient access to local resources and attractions, as well as transportation links.

Temporary accommodation with Collens Healthcare Ltd

Hundreds of thousands of young people in the UK face the problem of homelessness each year. Family breakdown, bereavement, mental health issues, and a history of abuse are the major causes behind this issue. These youngsters have complex needs that demand customized assistance to overcome their problems.

Homelessness is a reality that can confront anyone, regardless of their background or status. Our services are committed to providing all individuals with the support and empathy they deserve.

Collens is a provider of emergency temporary accommodation for both single individuals and families who are homeless. Our services include supported accommodation that aims to assist individuals with a diverse range of issues to acquire and keep a permanent tenancy in the future, so that they do not have to go through the system again.

At the heart of our work is a young person-led approach where we provide customised support to meet their unique needs. Our aim is to prevent family breakdowns by offering mediation and support when relationships become strained. We recognise that mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, and self-harm can hinder progress, and we collaborate with young people to tackle these obstacles from the outset of our journey together.

We provide personalised assistance that helps young people become more resilient, boosts their self-assurance, and raises their ambitions. As a result, they gain access to educational, training, and job prospects that enable them to achieve independence and satisfaction.

How our process works

Step 1

If you are planning to move to a supported living facility, it is necessary to have funding support arranged beforehand. You can approach your local council or GP to connect with a social worker who will assist in getting your support plan approved.

Step 2

Once your local council has agreed your support, you can then get in touch with Collens Healthcare Ltd. One of our Referral Managers will then get in touch with you.

Step 3

We’ll arrange a visit in person to get to know you a little better. We’ll talk about your current situation, support need and also your short, medium, and long term ambitions.

Step 4

We can schedule visits to our apartments or shared houses that are available in your preferred location. During the visit, you can explore the property and ask any inquiries you may have to our team.

Step 5

We’ll create you a support and funding proposal and send it to your local council for approval – keeping you up to date throughout the process.

Step 6

Once funding is approved we can set a move in date, and will be on hand to support you through the whole transition process to make the move as smooth as possible.
