Our Values
Supported Living
Supported Living allows you to live as independently as possible and take control over how and when you receive support. My Life Choice can support you to achieve and fulfil your potential, all in the comfort of your own home. You may own, rent or be looking for a home, we can support you in all these areas.
We use the 'I Statements' from the REACH standards to ensure you are at the heart of the decisions that are made about your home and where you live. You can see these on page 19 of the REACH PDF. Our flexible support is tailored to your needs. Together, we will co-produce a personalised support plan focusing on your interest, skills and future goals. Whatever your needs, My Life Choice exists to ensure you are supported to meet them. The type of support you receive should be constantly shaped and designed by you. From help with personal care needs and managing finances, to finding further education, work or leisure activities - you are in charge.
Autism
Our ambition is to support each Autistic person to live the lives they choose, ensuring they meet their individual potentials.
We recognise each person is unique and your support will be designed to reflect this. We can support you in a variety of ways, such as in your home; in the community; at work or educational settings. Whatever your needs and aspirations, our specialist teams are here to support you
You can expect our teams to:
Work with you to create a person centred support plan tailored around your individual needs.
Support you to design your own Autism profile so the support you receive is consistent and we understand the things that are important to you
Understand the importance of your circle of support (family / friends) and involve them in your plans where you are in agreement.
Undertake personalised transitions for new placements and engage positively and proactively with your existing support provider whether that be: -
Primary Care / hospital setting
Another Supported Living provider
Your own / parents homes
We will support you to continuously develop your everyday skills using Active Support. This will enable you to live as independently as possible.
Learning Disability
Individuals with a Learning Disability are exactly that, individual. The extent to which a person is affected by a LD is never the same so their support needs to reflect that.
This may vary from a few hours a week support to source employment opportunities to full time dedicated support around the clock. The extent to which you require support around everyday living is often broken down as 'Mild', 'Moderate' or 'Severe'. A Learning Disability is often found alongside other conditions such as Down's Syndrome or Autism. My Life Choice have teams of expertly trained support staff that will ensure the care and support you receive enhances your abilities rather than focusing on perceived disability.
