Daily support for everyday living

Working together, as a team

Your family, loved ones and others in your circle of support know you better than anyone. We’ll work as a team with the people you trust, to get your support right.

You’ll be involved in all the decisions about you. And if you communicate without words, we’ll find other ways to help you get your point across.

Wherever possible, you and your family will have the chance to be involved in recruiting and training your own support team.

If you’re living with other people, we may combine some of your support hours (this is called shared support.) Together with core support (which is just for you) this means we make the very most of the hours available to the household.

Where you’ll live

You’ll probably live alone or with a handful of housemates in supported living – that means you’ll have your own front door, your own tenancy, you’ll receive Benefits and you’ll pay your own bills. Just like Edward.

We support a few people to live in small registered care homes. Your experience of our support should be the same.

And if you live with your family, we may be able to give you outreach support to enable you to live your life – your way. Just like Stuart.

Supporting your independence

You’ll be able to draw on our support to gain important life skills.

From personal care to travel training, and from shopping, cooking and socialising to getting job-ready, we’ll set you up to shine in life.

Because we’re in your corner.

Leaving ATU

Are you or a loved one in an Assessment and Treatment Unit (ATU) or other long-stay hospital? You may already know how hard it can be to get out.

At Dimensions, we believe in you and will support you every step of the way.

Many individuals we have helped to leave long-stay hospitals and ATUs, including Aaron, Susan, and Indy, have experienced multiple failed placements in the local community.

These setbacks are often because the system has failed them. So we’ll work carefully to get things right.
