Supporting Independence

- We recognise that everyone is different, we will treat you as an individual.
- We will look at what you are able to do for yourself and build upon these skills to help you maintain/ improve your independence.
- We will support you to identify the help that is around you such as, family, friends and local community.
- We will help you identify where equipment and/or assistive technology can support you to maintain your independence.
- We will help you maximise your income to avoid financial difficulties, improve your quality of life, and give you more choices.
- We know that most of you want to find your own solutions and our job is to support and help you to get there. To do this, we will work alongside you to develop your own plan, including how support will be delivered and by whom, including the involvement of other professionals such as district nurses or hospital staff, as necessary.
