Brunel House - Alpha Care SW Ltd

We offer a residential setting that can be used for long term placements, respite care or emergency admissions. We aim to provide care and support for individuals transitioning from children's services into adults. We aim to provide care and support to the younger generation of individuals with complex physical and learning disabilities within the city, of which we believe current services to be extremely limited.

Our objective is to have a diverse and person-centred package of care for those who have additional needs, predominantly complex physical disabilities or a learning disability. Our focus will be to increase independence, develop life skills and offer education either in house via suitably qualified professionals or the cities educational provisions. Another focus will be to encourage integration within the home and wider community acting as facilitators in supporting people to explore their interests and hobbies. Due to the potential complexity of health needs there will be the need to work closely with our health colleagues, welcoming their involvement within our services, working collaboratively to ensure each individuals needs are best met.

In order to ensure we deliver a person centred package of care we will provide the following:

• Thorough service needs assessment prior to admission - for emergency admissions a 'emergency
