Individualised Support
At Glenholme, we are committed to providing the highest quality of Person-Centered Care, placing the individual at the heart of all decisions that impact their life. Our support is tailored to meet the unique needs, circumstances, health choices, and aspirations of each person.
We believe that every individual deserves to be treated with dignity, compassion, and respect, and our goal is to empower them with the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to make informed decisions and achieve their personal goals. This approach is built on active listening and effective communication, and we understand the important role that families and advocates may play in supporting the individual’s wishes.
In contrast to traditional models of care that focus on “doing things for” or “to” individuals, at Glenholme we take a holistic and collaborative approach, working “with” those we support to ensure that their needs and desires are at the forefront of every decision. This person-centred approach is the foundation of our commitment to the happiness, health, and success of each person we serve.
Our Homes
At Glenholme, we understand the significant impact that the environment can have on an individual’s well-being. That’s why we take pride in offering high-quality homes and supported living solutions that promote a positive lifestyle. Our modern and well-maintained accommodation is located in desirable communities, providing residents with access to the best of community life. Our homes come equipped with the latest amenities and allow for personalisation, so residents can make it their own. For those in our outreach services, we offer support in finding and securing suitable housing options.
ACCESSIBILITY
For individuals with physical disabilities, we offer services that cater to a wide range of needs. Many of our homes have step-free access and we have several homes specifically designed for wheelchair use, featuring level flooring, accessible wet rooms, wider doors, and kitchens with adjustable worktops. We can also provide additional customisations based on an individual’s specific requirements, following a thorough assessment of their needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between residential care and supported living services?
Glenholme supports young adults and adults with learning disabilities, complex needs, mental health conditions and problems with addiction. In residential care homes, we can help by providing a comprehensive support package that covers the majority of a service user’s home needs.
For those with a little more capacity, supported living services might be a better option. 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.
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 include family and support networks (current provider, education and health professionals, social workers, care coordinators etc.) to enable us to capture a holistic picture of the individual as a person in addition to their support needs. During the assessment we ensure that we can assess whether we can meet the support needs, mitigate risks and where the individual will be most compatible in living with others, we like to ensure 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. Click here to find out more about this topic.
Where will the transition take place?
The transition process can take place at the individual’s current residence with visits from our staff, at their new home with support from their current team, or within the community.
Who will be responsible for the transition?
The transition will involve key people from the individual’s current support team, a core support team at their new placement, and may also involve family members and professionals.
What can be done to make the transition easier for the individual?
To ease the transition, the individual can bring familiar items, participate in favourite activities, personalise their new room with new items, use social stories and view pictures beforehand to aid in information processing.
What needs to be planned for unexpected situations?
The transition process should account for any potential new or challenging behaviours due to anxiety or unsettlement, by identifying the individual’s typical responses and implementing positive support strategies to ensure a positive experience.
Will new routines or activities be introduced?
The individual’s support team will need to establish a weekly plan and introduce new experiences, activities, and tasks associated with their new home. The transition process should also consider any other transitions taking place, such as starting a new college, day service, job, etc.
What goals and aspirations does the individual have for our support?
It’s crucial to understand the individual’s desired level of support, future wishes, and aspirations for maximising independence to set appropriate goals. These aspirations will factor into each individual’s care plan and be regularly revisited to make sure we’re providing the right level of support.
