Supported Living 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.

Autism Case Study

When Nora was coming to the end of her formal education, Futures Care was approached to provide community support, as she had been unable to access formal day care services due to the complexities of her autistic tendencies and associated behaviours.

Nora depends on a stable routine and consistent boundaries to enable her to process the world in which she lives. When these requirements are met, she is able to reduce behaviours that challenge as a result of her difficulties with social communication and interaction.

Staff are skilled in communicating with Nora, often making use of Pictorial Cards and Now and Next Tools. With Nora’s input, they provide her with a tightly structured routine which is as predictable as possible for her. Now she can enjoy quality time in the family home, while also having access to meaningful activities and respite support that allows balance for both Nora and her family.

Clinical Care Case Study

When Connor’s care needs were not being met, Futures Care were asked to take over as Connor’s care provider.  Retaining his core staff, Futures Care were able to build a competent and reliable care team that understood Connor’s care needs, with an emphasis on communication, allowing Connor to have trust in those who care for him and feel safe in his day to day life.

With a solid foundation of care, Connor’s quality of life and emotional well-being has vastly improved, and now he can confidently access the community, make plans with friends and visit family. Since joining Futures Care, Connor has found employment within the company and is a valued member of our recruitment team. He has also been able to go on holiday for the first time since before his accident.
