Quality requirement 7: Providing equipment & accommodation
People with long-term neurological conditions are to receive timely, appropriate assistive technology/ equipment and adaptations to accommodation to support them to live independently, help them with their care, maintain their health and improve their quality of life.
The service provides community support for adults with an acquired brain injury, and is committed to empowering people and promoting social inclusion. Services include supported housing, outreach support, a ‘move-on unit’ and case management. This is a voluntary agency that works collaboratively with social care and health services, and with the voluntary and independent sectors, to develop services for people with acquired brain injury.
The unit helps adults with acquired brain injury return to the community and live as independently as possible. The unit has a bedsit environment in which residents can experience more independent living than on the unit (e.g. greater opportunity for budgeting, cooking meals, organising time, etc.), offering a ‘halfway’ setting between the Transitional Living Unit and home.
The Integrated Community Equipment Services (ICES) website includes a guide on Emerging Good Practice and Innovation which contains examples of good practice related to provision of equipment and ICES.
