Adult Augmented Services
Description of Service:
Support services are all those services which currently come under the heading ‘day care’. Day care services can be provided in a number of settings, by staff or volunteers. Cosgrove’s support services can help a wide range of people, from those who need support with very complicated needs, to people who need time-limited support at different points in their lives. The main goal of support services is to allow people to plan and achieve their preferred lifestyle.
Services/Activities provided
The service provides a wide range of activities on a weekly basis – this includes:
- Home support
- Education and training
- Leisure and arts
- Supported employment
- Volunteer befriending
- Respite opportunities
- Information, advice and consultancy
How to access the Service:
The service operates an open referral system which means that referrals will be considered from both statutory (eg Health Teams/Social Work Teams) and voluntary agencies. We will also consider referrals from families, carers or self referrals. Where a third party has made the referral, the person to be supported must be aware of and agreeable to the referral. All referrals are treated in confidence.
