Promoting Independence South West Ltd

Promoting Independence South West is a support community service, and within people's homes; to support them towards greater independence. We offer various levels of care and support for Adults with diverse needs from dementia/Alzheimer's, learning disabilities/difficulties, Asperger's, alcohol/drug misuse, self neglect concerns and associated needs. These can include communication difficulties, autism, epilepsy, mental health and physical and sensory needs.  Our mission is to work with our clients not just to provide care and support, but to work in partnership to promote access into their communities, and to participate in activities that are meaningful to them.
Our service covers all of East Cornwall, Newquay and surrounding areas (10 mile radius). 

The team's specialism covers a diverse range of mentoring/support, from managing care needs, cooking, budgeting, shopping, to accessing public transport, groups, activities out in the community, education, and any interests in voluntary and/or paid work.

Our service acknowledges that everyone is different and that what one client may consider to be an important goal towards furthering their independence, may differ significantly from others.

We have an ethos of ensuring that any care and support is tailored to your individual needs. To achieve this, we take time to get to know you and put your preferences at the centre of everything we do. You are in control of every element of your care and support, where appropriate. We empower you to live the way you want. 

Meeting Your Goals

We understand that our client's will have differing needs and abilities and therefore will ensure that your care/support plan is reviewed every three months. The aim is ensure that your progress does not become stagnant, and that our service is meeting your goals; towards independence.

Our service is a working partnership between you and us.

Partnerships

When working with other statutory agencies such as Social Services, Mental Health, Learning Disability, GP's, Housing Departments, Employment Agencies and other charities such as National Autism Service, we aim to work in partnership (with your consent); to ensure that we have considered all aspects of your needs, and access specialist support when required. Working in partnership with you, your support network and other organisations will assist by piecing together all elements of your life/needs; to enable a robust and effect care package to move towards independence.

Please note that this is not a domicillary service.
