| General Information |
| Below you will find some of the answers
to the questions you maybe asking yourself. |
| Who is the
Service For?
Our services are for older people who have physical
problems that affect them to such an extent that they
are no longer capable of living at home on their own
or even with family support. We, as an organisation,
are committed to supporting older people who require
varying degrees of support to continue a life of quality
and social values within their own community. The project
aims to improve the life of each individual resident
by encouraging personal choice and preference and by
promoting self advocacy.
|
| |
| What Can It
Provide?
Our services provide good levels of
staff support in high quality community
based accommodation. We believe that we provide a real
home where the person and their family can feel involved,
respected and safe and where he or she feels they can
make a contribution to society and be treated with dignity.

|
Where Is It Provided?
Our services are provided in three locations. One of
these projects is in the Gorbals area of Glasgow, namely
the Moffat Street Project and provides accomodation
for eight people. The other two services, Annandale Street
and Govanhill Street Projects are in the Govanhill area,
providing support for eight people and six respectively.

|
How can I request these services?
Our services can be accessed through contacting the
Project Manager of the Project directly for information
or by contacting the Social Work Department and requesting
an assessment of needs. Either way the Social Work Department
will have to carry out an assessment to ascertain suitability
for the project.
|
| |
|
Is There A Charge?
There is a charge. The charge will vary from
centre to centre. The Social Work Department will meet
most of the cost and clients are required to make a
contribution. This will be fully explained by the Manager
prior to a placement being offered. |
| |
|
How Long Will I Have To
Wait?
This is dependent on various factors. For example the
project may have no vacanices. If the project does have
a vacancy then as soon as the social worker involved
carries out the various assessments and you are happy
to move into the project, then you can do so. |
