Our Best Lives, Bolder Strategy - Community Integrated Care

I am a bubbly, energetic, and friendly young woman who loves expressing myself and staying active in my local community. I enjoy getting out in the car, exploring new places, and taking part in outdoor activities that keep me busy and engaged.

I’m proud of the home I’ve created—especially my sensory room, which helps me relax, self-regulate, and feel calm. I’m building new independent living skills every day and making great progress. I work well with my staff team and really value their support as I continue to learn and grow.

• Morning: 2 staff
• Evening: 1 staff
• Overnight: 1 waking night staff & 1 sleep‑in staff
  
  

Sometimes my anxiety can build up and feel overwhelming. When this happens, the support I need is simple but important:

• Staff who remain calm, grounded, and reassuring
• Clear communication about what is happening and what to expect
• Space when I need it, or soothing sensory input to help me settle
• Staff trained in low‑level holds
  
  

I feel safest when staff are patient, supportive, and work with me rather than against me. Building trust and connection helps me stay calm and feel confident in the people around me.

We know it takes a special person to work in social care and we recognise that not everyone that would be perfect for the role, will have professional experience.
