Additional details
The engagement of Peripatetic Crisis Support will have to be agreed with the appropriate Team Manager. Concierge Plus offers apartment style living for between 6 and 16 people with learning disabilities and/or autism, who are able to live independently, but need support during the day.
The schemes provide a stable, supportive environment in which to help a person develop and maintain their independence. There is extended housing support on site 24 hours a day delivered by a CQC registered provider.
Alongside this, each individual usually has a package of care and support from a provider of their choice who provides up to 25 hours of support per week. This is the more traditional ISL model of support where up to 4 people share a house and each person holds a tenancy.
Support is provided around the clock by a care team who are responsible for supporting everyone who lives there. These tenancies usually include an element of assistive technology, managed by the care team, to enable support to be provided in the most effective way. In a small number of cases, this type of support is provided to a person living on their own.
