Our support provision cannot be categorised in to specific services as we provide support in whatever capacity is required by an individual’s requirements.
However, below are some typical examples…
Ambler Way Support Services provide a holistic care and support service to people with learning disabilities. Our support is diverse in nature and tailored to meet the individual needs of our service users and therefore supporting them to be as independent as possible in their daily lives.
We encouraged our service users to be as independent as possible promoting the use of mainstream primary care services whilst supporting them to use specialist health care where appropriate. Wherever possible we also encourage service users to travel independently and have cultivated good relationships with the Keighley & District Bus Service and local taxi firms which has a significant impact on opening up opportunities for service users.
We support and encourage independent living skills from cooking and cleaning to paying bills and arranging appropriate benefits entitlements users may have available to them. Our team has established many tools, including the use of quizzes, DVDs and other educational tools, to help reach safe outcomes to various scenarios.
Our aim is to help service users achieve their personal aspirations, hopes and dreams. We have enabled people to travel to places they have dreamed of and reach their goals in many community based activities.
Our service users are not only involved in the support we provide, they lead that support both individually and as a group which is achieved by our “person centred review” and our “service quality check” processes.
Our support provision cannot be categorised in to specific services as we provide support in whatever capacity is required by an individual’s requirements, however, we have provided some examples below of common support areas we deliver.
We have decades of experience in the promotion of independent living skills and have worked in partnership with other professionals and providers to help each individual in developing the skills they need, we have taken advantage of assistive technology to enable our service users to be able to live as independent life as possible empower them to obtain best possible outcomes.
We have supported some of our service user’s in acquiring a new home using local using provider’s. Some of our service user’s have taken advantage of the circles of support they have formed in the area other have taken advantage of assistive technology to help them sustain independent living.
We have supported, encouraged and facilitated our service users to acquire paid work and continue to support them and their employer throughout. We have also found volunteering work for individuals doing the things they enjoy for example gardening and working with animals giving extra support where needed.
We support and encourage our service users to build circles of support, develop and maintain friendships and relationships. Often our service need help with planning outings, invites and organizing get togethers to enable the friendship and relationships to flourish. We encourage our service users to take part in local and wider community activities which facilitates and encourages friendships.
We are very proud of our staff team and the flexibility in the service that is offered. We currently support service user’s who live alone or with parents to access the community, activities, health appointments, we have recently helped with vocational training. Service user’s we support on outreach are often offered the facility of going on holiday.
Our service has been established for nearly thirty years and during this time we have developed circles of support within the local community which in turn have empowered the service user’s to be more independent while feeling safe.
