Diverse Services independent living/floating support is available to you if you have long-term conditions. Our support is for adults living in the community who require support to maintain their accommodation and/or their ability to live independently. Depending on your needs, we can support you from 6 months to 2 years and focus on the core objective of promoting maximum independence to meet your specific needs. Our service aims to minimise the use of emergency or crisis accommodation whilst encouraging independence and social inclusion. The service also supports you to access education, training and employment opportunities.

 

Our independent/floating living services enable individuals with severe and enduring mental health and learning disability to live independently in their own home, with appropriate support to help them manage their own tenancy and achieve greater freedom and control in their lives. Support can be provided in a person’s own house, their flat or in a shared living environment.

The services we provide can range from occasional visits from a support worker, flexible support during the day or in the evening, overnight and/or at weekends. 

 

Our staff are fully trained and take a person-centred approach to planning and delivering each individual’s support.

This means that, when we work with a person and their family, we listen to what they want and what matters to them, so they are always at the very heart of conversations and decisions about their support, and how it is planned and provided.
