Means of offering help

  • Creation of an environment and culture where people can be supported in regaining personal autonomy.

  • Initial assessment to identify how we can best meet individual needs.

  • Regular review of progress.

  • Individual support/counseling.

  • Open access to help during opening hours by telephone or visit to the centre, (this may be used by people during times of crises).

  • A drop in service during which staff can be accessed to support and problem solve.

  • Involvement of service users in decision making and design of services.

  • Group work.

Before attending Beaconsfield, a Care Manager, (Social Worker), will visit you and discuss your needs. This is called an Assessment. Once the assessment has been carried out you will be invited to visit Beaconsfield. If you choose to attend Beaconsfield an individual plan of care is agreed. Each person is offered the opportunity to review their progress on a regular basis. You may invite whoever you wish to be present at the review meeting. This can be a friend, relative or a carer. All the necessary details will be explained once contact is made.
