Needs and Risk Assessments

Before providing services, we ensure that a potential client's needs, preferences, and risks are thoroughly assessed. We aim to ensure that the care and support that Thistledown Supported Living provides meets the assessed needs of each client. We ensure that needs and risks are re-assessed as frequently as necessary and that the care and support provided have the flexibility to respond to changing needs or requirements. From the outset of the referral process, we seek to consult all relevant parties in the needs and risk assessment process.

User Focused Services

To focus on client’s personal aspirations, we aim to provide care and support in ways that have positive outcomes for clients and promote their active participation.

Client Consultation

Thistledown Supported Living considers ‘participation’ to be a vital part of a client’s inclusion in decision making. Clients are encouraged to become empowered by taking advantage of consultation and support mechanisms in place. For instance, meetings with managers or supervisors, advocacy support and/or assistance from external agencies. All staff members know where the Policies and Procedures are kept within the office for reference. Tenants are actively encouraged to influence changes in policies and procedures for the continued improvement of service delivery.
