Supported living
DMN Healthcare is a long-established provider of tailored supported living providing high-quality, person-centred care for people with mental ill-health, learning disabilities and complex needs. Our therapeutic care packages are tailored to each individual, so whether they are currently being supported in a hospital, their own home or one of our specialist supported living homes our clients receive the care that is best for them.
We pride ourselves on our ability to deliver care and support that's carefully tailored to each person. Although we have a range of comfortable, homely, properties with gardens across Suffolk we are happy to support clients in their own homes, working with private landlords and housing associations, we make sure the accommodation is matched to the individual.
We don't believe in a 'one size fits all' approach to care. Instead, bespoke care plans are developed with the input of service users, their families, and medical professionals. Our person-centered plans focus on developing service users' life skills and independence, adapting to their changing needs and preferences whilst providing the continuity and stability they need to thrive.
As many of our service users come from a more secure setting, we support them to develop their independence and set goals. We support clients to go on short breaks, manage their money and attend community groups.
With DMN Healthcare, supported living doesn't mean minimal support - the majority of our services are provided 24 hours a day. We have a range of properties that provide spacious, comfortable homes in lovely neighborhoods. Our team assists with a range of needs from domestic tasks and daily activities to building and maintaining links with friends, family and communities.
We have always had a large focus on ensuring all our clients are supported in engage in as much meaningful activities as possible for them. We know that meaningful activities are different for us all, but the underlying principle of keeping busy, feeling valued and seeing meaning in what we are doing has a profound effect on our mental well being and achieving our goals.
