SERVICE DETAILS
Link Living provides supported accommodation at Comely Green.
The majority of people who are supported here have spent a significant amount of time in long-term hospital care. Each person we support has their own flat and our support enables them to live as independently as possible.
What do we do
We will take the time to talk to you, and based on what you tell us, we will produce a tailored support plan that concentrates on positive outcomes over a set period of time.
How we can help you
You will be assigned a support worker who can offer advice, guidance and support on a varied range of topics including relationships, budgeting, health, employment, training and benefits.
There are also a range of activities for service users to be involved in to support them to develop community
networks. For example, there are theatre outings, gardening and walking groups. There is also
individualised support to help people to attend appointments or pursue individual interests.
Your social worker will carry out regular reviews on your support plan. Reviews are an important part of the service we provide as it gives you the chance to reflect on previous months and recognise your achievements.
Reviews also give you the chance to tell us how well you feel we are supporting you, and what we could do to improve on our service.
We use a person-centred approach that works so well with people with complex support needs coming out of hospital and have helped people to be actively involved in their community. This support helps people to stay in the community and has reduced the need for further hospital admissions in some cases.
