Parkview Mental Health Floating Support Service
This
service is for individuals with mental health issues and aims to develop and
sustain an individual’s capacity to live independently within
community based accommodation.
Support
from staff is focused around promoting the service user’s ability to live
independently in their own or a selection of Parkview Society accommodation. The
service intends to provide support in the medium term to long term, with the aim
that service users will hopefully be able to then move on to greater
independence. The Society has a range of housing accommodation in Exeter,
Exmouth, Honiton, Ottery St Mary and Newton Abbot.
Recognising
the vulnerability of our service users, visiting
support is provided to assist and give service users the confidence to sustain
their own home. Support is provided to assist the service user’s ability to
cope with the demands and requirements of living independently. In addition to
visiting support, service user’s can contact staff at anytime that they have
support needs in relation to their ability to cope with the demands and
requirements of living independently. In order to provide a response at
particular times of difficulty, a 24 hour telephone on-call service is available
to service users.
Support
to individual service users will be guided by their particular needs in relation
their abilities to live independently. More generally, the support offered may
include:
 | help
with managing money and accessing welfare benefits in order to sustain
financial stability. |
| monitoring
of well-being, emotional support and confidence building.

| help
to maintain safety and security in the home
