Case Study

David had spent all of his life living in the family home. When his mother became ill, requiring hospital admission, he stayed with another family member for a short period. Sadly, David’s mother passed away and David required a new long term home.

David was supported to look at various placement options and ultimately chose a Supported Living setting with Futures Care as his preferred choice. He was supported in purchasing new items of his own and was able to chose the décor for his room.

Initially there were some difficulties for David settling into his new home. Not only was he managing his grief, but he was also encountering many significant changes in his life circumstances. With staff support, David was able to adjust to the changes he has faced and is now a valued and much liked member of his household. He regularly socialises and participates in activities with those and he lives with and has recently created a lockdown memory book.
