Semi-Independent

Service

Arborvitaes semi-independent provisions offers support services to those 16 plus who want to transition to independent living and integrate into the community.

Our purpose is to deliver a high standard of accommodation that will see young people thrive and go on to become positive members of their communities.

The service is designed to focus on enabling young people to achieve their personal goals though individual tailored care plans designed to meet their own unique personal needs.

Customised care packages may emphasise areas such as cooking, self-identity, budgeting, hygiene, and a holistic approach to supporting the young person.

We encourage our post-16 individuals to make positive independent choices, as this significantly boosts their self-esteem and well-being, especially after navigating challenging life circumstances. Our staff strive to empower the young people in our semi-independent program by adopting a support-based approach, helping each individual develop their own strategies for managing various situations.
After a period of intensive support during which each young person progresses through the supported living program, staff will gradually reduce their assistance in line with individual care plans. However, they will remain available for close supervision if needed or provide a limited number of hours of support each week. This reduction plan is tailored to the young person’s needs, ensuring they receive the appropriate level of support as they continue to grow.

The semi-independent provision is about equipping young people to enter adulthood and become valued members of society.
