Health and well-beingignore

Sheltered and supported housing offers support to individuals with the aim of maintaining their tenancy, increasing their independence and enabling them to live a healthy and enjoyable life.

 

The support can include:

  • Help with skills needed to maintain a tenancy (paperwork, budgeting, environment, health and safety)
  • Emotional support
  • Promotion of health and well-being
  • Developing social networks
  • Accessing community facilities (i.e. leisure, work and education)
  • Enhancing people’s confidence. 

Housing support services also aims to:

  • Increase employment
  • Promote physical and mental health and reduce health inequalities
  • Increase individual choice in care and support options
  • Encourage a single, community based integrated social and health care support system
  • Reduce re-offending
  • Promote independent living.
 

Moat is committed to promoting health and well-being and we work closely with a number of agencies and services to ensure joint working is optimised during an individuals support. Areas where we try to ensure joint working takes place is during a needs assessment or when writing an individual's support plan.  

Moat realises the importance of person-centred support and actively encourages all clients to engage with their support and work proactively towards their goals.

 
 

Moat actively encourages the involvement of older people in the design, development and delivery of its services through local older people’s groups and forums to help shape, design and deliver provision.  Moat embraces the shift in perception of ageing from one of dependency and decline into one of active citizenship, participation and independence. 

Underpinning this is a move towards earlier intervention to provide appropriate support to enable older people to remain independent for longer, reduce social isolation and exclusion, maximise income and ability to work and encourage healthier more active living.
