The Supported Living Process Step by Step
Step 1. Needs Assessment and Funding Approval
This stage begins with a local authority needs assessment carried out by a social worker to evaluate the individual’s care needs, independence levels, and personal goals. The outcome determines whether supported living is suitable and secures an approved funding package or personal budget to cover care and accommodation.
Step 2. Referral to Verity Healthcare Limited
Once funding is approved, a referral is made to Verity Healthcare Limited so that appropriate supported living services can be arranged. Our team reviews all referral information, assigns a dedicated referral manager, and makes initial contact to begin planning the next steps.
Step 3. Initial Assessment Meeting
An initial assessment meeting is arranged to gain a full understanding of the individual’s needs, preferences, and independence goals. This meeting explores daily routines, personal interests, and challenges while involving family members or professionals where appropriate.
Step 4. Property Visits Arranged
Individuals are invited to visit suitable supported living properties to help them choose the right home based on their needs and preferences. During visits, they can view accommodation options, meet staff or housemates, and explore the local community and amenities.
Step 5. Support Plan and Funding Proposal Submitted
A personalised support plan is developed outlining care needs, independence goals, risk management, and structured activities such as gardening, skill-building, and community visits. A detailed funding proposal, including the required level of 24/7 support, is then submitted to the local authority for approval.
Step 6. Approval and Supported Move-In
Once funding is approved, a move-in date is arranged and Verity Healthcare Limited supports the individual through a smooth and well-planned transition. Staff provide 24/7 on-site support, helping individuals settle into their new home, build routines, and engage in group activities, hobbies, and community visits.
How to begin your care journey:
Overcoming Initial Challenges
When Dave first entered supported living, he struggled with low mood, anxiety, and a lack of confidence, often avoiding new experiences and social situations. These challenges affected his independence and limited his ability to engage with everyday life.
Personalised Support and Care
With tailored support from Verity Healthcare Limited, Dave received consistent, person-centred care designed to build his confidence, independence, and emotional wellbeing. Our dedicated team worked closely with him to develop daily living skills, establish routines, and encourage positive engagement.
Building Confidence and Independence
Through ongoing support, Dave discovered new interests such as bodybuilding and music, which helped improve his motivation and self-esteem. He gradually became more independent, taking part in daily activities, social interactions, and community-based opportunities.
Achieving a Major Milestone
One of Dave’s biggest achievements was successfully travelling to America, something he had previously avoided due to anxiety and lack of confidence. This experience marked a significant turning point in his journey towards independence and personal growth.
Positive Outcomes and Future Goals
Today, Dave lives more independently, actively participates in activities, and has a much more positive outlook on life. His journey highlights how high-quality supported living can empower individuals to build confidence, develop life skills, and achieve meaningful goals.
