About Our Services
What is the difference between residential care and supported living services?
Residential care offers long-term support in a dedicated care home setting, where individuals live full-time and receive 24-hour assistance with personal care, meals, social activities, and daily living needs. At Glenholme, our residential care homes provide a comprehensive support package that covers the majority of a service user’s daily requirements, ensuring comfort, safety, and a homely environment.
Supported living provides personalised support in an individual’s own home, promoting independence while receiving tailored assistance based on their needs. At Glenholme, supported living services are designed for those with a little more capacity. Our services help people with a wide range of support needs to retain their independence by being supported in their own homes. People in supported living have their own tenancy and are responsible for their own bills and cost of living.
Does Glenholme provide respite care?
Yes — Glenholme provides respite care in comfortable, secure and stimulating settings, giving primary carers the chance to rest and recharge while their loved ones receive high-quality support. We offer a balance of personal space and vibrant community life, giving individuals the opportunity to relax while enjoying companionship and activities. Residents can expect a flexible daily routine that respects their individual preferences while also providing opportunities to take part in engaging social experiences.
How does Glenholme’s referral process work?
During our referral process, the needs of each individual are assessed to find the best fit for them. Led by our dedicated referrals manager, we involve family and support networks (current provider, education and health professionals, social workers, care coordinators, etc.) to capture a holistic picture of the individual as a person, in addition to their support needs. During the assessment, we carefully review whether we can meet the individual’s support needs, mitigate risks, and determine where the individual will be most compatible living with others. We also ensure that age, needs, and interests are well considered.
How long does the referral process take?
The length of the transition process can vary, ranging from months to days, and even overnight stays may be beneficial to some individuals. Call us on 01753 978 888 for more information.
