4. Moving On The last PIP said: • we would develop more accommodation with support for people leaving home • there will be support for people to leave hospital • make sure people leaving hospital are able to access advocacy. What have we done? • there are now 126 people living in their own houses with support • plans are underway for 15 people to leave hospital including peer mentoring • 30 more houses with support will be developed by 2008 • some people with learning disabilities have moved to Housing with Care and Very Sheltered Housing and we are evaluating the success of this. What do you think? • people with learning disabilities should be supported for as long as they want to live at home. It is excellent that people are not institutionalised as they were years ago, and that more people are living in the community. Some carers want to continue to support their family members at home, while others want their family members settled before the carers become unable to support them • more houses need to be available for those with varying degrees of need including houses with support for people with a profound and multiple learning disabilities. It is felt to be important that as much priority is given to people living at home with older parents as to people in hospital • one model does not suit all and there needs to be a range of housing and support to meet people’s needs, wishes and ambitions. Some people want their own place - others would find this lonely and want a shared place PARTNERSHIP IN PRACTICE 2007-2010 13 4
4 • people who are moving to their own homes should be well prepared for this and given support to access accommodation, good information and realistic dates to move. Care staff in supported living settings should be trained to support individuals to develop independent living skills and not just do things for people. What improvements do we plan to make over the next three years? • we will establish a sub group of the PIP implementation group to look at Moving On • the SAY reps will undertake some focused work on this area to identify what people want • we will develop 15 accommodation with support places as part of the final phase of resettlement from long stay hospital by 2008 • we will develop 30 additional accommodation with support places by 2008 • we will extend the very sheltered housing and housing with care pilots to make this another option for people with a learning disability • we will develop a commissioning strategy • we will develop eligibility criteria and a fair system of allocation of accommodation with support • we will improve the information that is available to staff, service users and families about accommodation with support • we will continue to monitor the quality of accommodation with support and ensure that services promote equality of opportunity and diversity. 14 PARTNERSHIP IN PRACTICE 2007-2010
