We provide residential care, supported living, and outreach support services across Essex. We believe in focussing on the full potential of each person, ensuring that the people we support are encouraged to set goals, make progress, and become valued and active members of their local community. Aldanat Care achieves this by assessing individual needs, preferences and interests, and by ensuring that the person takes the leading role in making decisions about their support,routine and activities therefore enhancing their quality of life.
Our two dedicated residential services, Peter House and The Retreat, focus on developing the skills and confidence needed to progress towards independent living. We also work closely with Local Authorities, landlords and housing associations to provide supported living accommodation. We currently operate 16 supported living services across Essex.
With our individualised approach, we assess the specific requirements of every individual and then tailor the accommodation and support package to meet their needs. These can include adapting the environment both indoors and outdoors to accommodate sensory needs, enabling the person to have access to activities both at home and within the community, providing accessibility aids and customising their home.
As specialists in successfully managing placements that have broken down with other providers, Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is at the heart of what we do.
PBS is about working in partnership with people, treating them with dignity and respect and striving towards enhancing their quality of life. Aldanat Care’s approach is based on understanding the functions of behaviour and ensuring the individual’s needs are met without the individual engaging in behaviours that challenge.
By adapting our approach, the environment, communication,proactive, active and reactive strategies we are able to provide tailored services to actively support the person to achieve outcomes that are important to them. Our dedicated ‘PBS team’ support staff to develop a fully inclusive service to meet the individual’s needs. We have an in-house Behaviour Advisor/PBS Practitioner who works collaboratively with our Behaviour Consultant to develop PBS plans using the model of positive behaviour support to apply scientific understanding of behaviours that challenge.
We use principles of organisational behaviour management to build a solid foundation upon which the right systems are put in place for the individual. At Aldanat Care we understand that no two situations or people are the same and we tailor our service to meet the needs of each individual.
The PBS team supports services to implement the PBS plan and evidence progression. All support and management staff receive on-going Positive Behaviour Support training which includes communication development, active support, negative and positive reinforcement, this training ensures they are fully equipped that PBS is fully promoted within the service. We are passionate about delivering the best care and support with the least restrictions and highest levels of respect.
