Care

We believe that all those who live at Willow View have the right to expect care and opportunities available to anyone living in their own home.

We recognise, respect and support individuality, encouraging each person to take as much control over their lives and decision making as they can, while offering care, support and guidance appropriate to their needs.

We understand that people change and we provide flexible services that can meet the changing needs and adapt accordingly.

What we offer and what this means:

Person Centred Care

This means that each person living at Willow View will have services and opportunities made available based on their current and perceived needs.

We review our services with each person regularly and reflect changes in their needs, wants and ambitions in our service delivery.

Maintaining Links with Family and Friends

We recognise how important family and friends are and we support those living at Willow View to maintain regular contact, using whatever means is appropriate e.g. visits, telephone, email and letter writing. This means they can retain a sense of belonging and past, as well as developing and maintaining new relationships in the future.

Progressive Care

We believe all people have the right to strive to achieve their full potential. We offer support, guidance and care based on assessed and updated goal planning. This means we will work with individuals and those significant in their lives to set and achieve short, medium and long term goals. We can help people achieve skills that may equip them for living more independently, and we can offer support to help people maintain skills they have, for as long as possible.

Links with Local Professionals & National Organisations

We have built up and established excellent working relationships with local professionals and we are associated members to a number of professional organisations. This means we can access high quality support for those living and working at Willow View and that we keep up to date with new developments. This ensures our services are modern and relevant, helping us achieve our key objectives of respect, dignity, choice and control.
