Independent Adult Living
The Treloar’s independence living skills service is a service for young disabled adults, aged 18 – 35, who have the potential to benefit from receiving a longer term independence skills learning / development package in a safe and supportive environment. It is the aim of the service that, within a maximum of 5 years, each person using the service will have moved on to some form of independent living.
We believe that by investing in teaching independence skills we can enable each individual to live a more fulfilled life where they exercise choice, are more independent and ultimately can use their skills and talents to enhance the community. Our goal is that by the end of the programme, all our service users will have learnt the skills that will help them thrive and realise their dreams.

Service
An onsite, skilled, personal assistant (core staff member) will supply 24/7 ad hoc and emergency support (includes overnight sleep in on site); this is a shared support between all tenants (maximum of 7 tenants). This allows the tenant the security of knowing that help is available at all times, at short notice, or that there is someone to help with small tasks. In addition to the core support, Campbell Court can provide domiciliary care if required (or, if preferred, this can be sourced elsewhere by another provider) which can be purchased through Direct Payments.
The Treloar’s core 24/7 service will support the customer to manage their Direct Payment in relation to their agreed care package.
All in our team are Treloar’s trained to a very high level in supporting physical disability, have independence living experience to assist customers accessing the community facilities i.e., GP surgery, social activities, education, work, volunteering etc. The staff team is supported professionally by the large and specialised team based on the Treloar’s campus.
The service is person-centered and led by the customer to work towards achieving their own personal short and long term outcomes. For further information contact Alison Watkins or Jennifer Paterson: DomCare@treloar.org.uk
