We work with individuals and families to agree what sort of support best meets their needs.

Our services support people with complex needs, people with behaviours which challenge, people with associated mental health problems and those with profound and multiple learning disabilities.

We believe that the people who use our service should be at the centre of their support plans and as such it is imperative that they are able to communicate their individual needs, wishes, and choices to their support team. We currently use a wide variety of communication aids such as verbal, pictorial and objects of reference to ensure we are always listening and understanding the needs of the people using our service.

The teams at Ridge Care Group work closely with service users and their chosen representatives, such as family members and close friends, to achieve outcomes. We provide our service in partnership with a multi-disciplinary team.

The multi-disciplinary team includes healthcare professionals, including GP’s, consultants, specialists, physiotherapists, dentists, opticians, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, care managers and social workers.

When it comes to support plans, our team is adamant that one size does not fit all. We believe that individual goals can only be achieved with the help of regular personal reviews. Every support plan at Ridge Care Group includes these reviews, which are undertaken by the multi-disciplinary team responsible for each resident.

Sometimes certain goals are more important than others, and these goals will be reviewed more frequently to ensure people using our service not only achieve their personal targets, but exceed them.

Service users are supported in line with their Person Centred Support Plan, so any and every assistance required will always be delivered in a consistent, considered manner.

Our team is dedicated to service users’ chosen activities of daily living, ensuring independence is at the heart of every action and decision. We provide active and positive encouragement to empower people using our service to do as much for themselves as possible

It is Ridge Care Group to ensure that staff do not accept or carry out tasks or roles unless they have the sufficient support, supervision, education and training to competently and successfully carry out their work.
