Supported Living Kernow
Hillcrest Supported Living Kernow is a pioneering service aimed at supporting residents of Cornwall who have a learning disability, within their own home.
Hillcrest Kernow is primarily aimed at people aged 18 to 65 with learning disabilities. Should clients be living in their own homes when referred, the service will seek to enhance their inclusion within their community.
Our Services
Hillcrest Kernow is a needs based service with an excellent reputation for being flexible, innovative and pro-active.
- We support people in their own homes to learn all the necessary independent living skills such as cooking, cleaning and budgeting.
- We support, empower and encourage clients to take an active part in their community and access mainstream leisure pursuits and interests.
- Individual support plans can include access to day centres, colleges or adult education classes, or supported employment should the person wish to participate as part of their person centred plan.
- We provide help, support and advice in accessing accommodation.
- Facilitate clients "moving on" within the service (from residential care to supported living or from one flat to another)
At Hillcrest Kernow we aim to exceed any minimum standards laid down by legislation and will work to commonly accepted standards of good practice adhering to O'Brien's Five Accomplishments by person centred planning approaches to support planning, evaluation and review of individual needs, wishes and aspirations.
