Trimar offers a wide range of high value, individually tailored services for people who ongoing care and support. These services have been developed in accordance with the aims of the Government’s http://www.valuingpeoplenow.dh.gov.uk/ and ‘Putting People First’ strategies. These place great emphasis on better housing, better health and further support for people who use social care services, to enable them to live an ordinary life, in the community.
Supported living
Trimar Care is one of the most experienced providers of Supported Living services and a leader in their development for people with complex and challenging needs. Our role is to plan, co-ordinate and deliver bespoke support packages for every person who uses our services, enabling each person to live as independently as possible in their own homes, in a community setting. Some people may require only a few hours support a week; others may need continual support and care.
Person-centred approach to independent living
We do this, from the beginning, by involving people who use our services and their families, carers and care managers, in creating their own unique person-centred plan that takes into account their individual abilities, wishes, preferences, ambitions, aspirations and needs (including health needs), to enable them to live full lives in their local community. This plan will look at where each person will live, with whom (if not alone), who will support them and how, as well as identify their lifestyle choices. It will also highlight how and with whom they would like to spend their time. Of course, each person using our services is involved in the selection procedure for their support workers.
Adapting to changing requirements
We also recognise that people’s wishes and requirements change over time, which is why we hold regular individual service review meetings with people using our services in order to monitor and evaluate the services we offer, and adapt the support plan accordingly.
Individual support services
Trimar Care provides a range of individual support services to enable people to live in their own homes, as tenants of housing providers or private landlords.
Our services include domiciliary care, such as help with household tasks like meal preparation, shopping, gardening and cleaning, as well as personal care tasks such as getting in and out of bed and dressing, washing, supervising medication and accompanying people on outings or to appointments.
Providing meaningful day time activities
The key element of our support services is that they are bespoke to the individual. This will support them to undertake activities during the day, with the main focus being on learning and development.
Our aim is to therefore help people find fulfilling activities in the community. For the more able, we can help find suitable employment or places where they can assist in a paid or voluntary capacity.
