 Lifeworks Residential CareÂ
At Lifeworks we have an ethos of positive support and believe that with nurture, positive focus on relationships and ability rather than disability, individuals can reach their own potential, aspirations and goals as they make their journey to more independence.Â
All of Lifeworks services are person centred which means that each persons care is planned with them and their support circle. Working alongside the people staying with us, their relatives, health and education professionals we develop care plans that place them at the centre. We support each individual to ensure their needs are met but also offer life-skills and opportunities to reach their full potential.
Having a different ability or additional needs, can mean that communication becomes a real challenge. Our services use a total communication system. This helps people to develop their understanding of language and communication skills to live the lives they want. Using a range of systems including Makaton, Now & Next, personalised visual planners and digital tools to help us to develop effective two way communication with everyone we work with.
Lifeworks prioritises health and emotional well-being for everyone in our services. Whether it is the food that we eat or the activities we do. Our services understand the importance of a balanced approach to taking care of ourselves, connecting with people and being part of our communities. This holistic approach is vital to the happiness of the people we care for.
