Social Care Solutions is an independent company, specialising in the provision of specialist support to Residential and Nursing Homes, Day Centres and Supported Living Schemes for all service users ranging from Older People to Adults with learning disabilities or Mental Health needs.
Social Care Solutions believe that people with disabilities are valued citizens with equal rights and responsibilities who are entitled to be consulted in all matters that affect their lives or environment. The company is committed to equality of opportunity and anti-discriminatory practices for both Service Users and staff and in all areas of our service delivery.
Our specialist support staff provide care using Person Centred Plans to maximise independence and ensure that each individual benefits from the highest quality of life. The service is also working within the framework of the Government's White Paper "Valuing People" which ensures that we focus on the Users' Rights, inclusion, Choice and Independence.
We aim to encourage individuals to develop their independent living skills as well as supporting the development of social and interpersonal skills. We are committed to providing a user focused service in partnership with the individual who has a disability. This involves four main principles, Respect, Trust, Development and Equality.

Respect
We respect the individual and value their right to make their own decisions. To enable this we assist Service Users in designing their own personal development plans. The PDP incorporates a "likes and dislikes" list, Daily Activities Programmes, Targeted Behaviour Guidelines and long and short term goals. The PDP is unique to the individual and is reviewed on a regular basis. Our aims is to make each Client as individual as they want to be.

Trust
Each Service User is assigned a key worker whose role it is to closely work with the person to ease any anxieties and to learn about their wishes. The key worker establishes a trusting relationship with the Service User based on honest and mutual respect.

Development
Working together staff and Service Users learn and develop from each other. The knowledge that each acquires from the other effectively helps build understanding, mutual respect and partnership.
Equality
All Service Users are regarded as individuals who are valued equally.
