Supported Living
Paradise Independent Living (PIL) supported living accommodation is primarily targeted at adults at risk with an acquired brain injury, between the ages of 18-65 years old. All have a tenancy agreement and a care contract. They are given the same rights as anyone living in their own accommodation.
​
The aim of supported accommodation is to give individuals the opportunity to live as independently as possible with help from staff when needed. Our tenants make their own choices and lead their lives in the way they want to, whenever possible. All their needs and desires are reflected in personalised and holistic support plans.
Supported Living
Independence is so important. So living in a supported housing scheme, allows people to live in accommodation which is their own, where they feel safe in the knowledge that care or support is close at hand whenever the need help. The level of assistance is agreed from the outset with each individual. So no one tenant will be receiving exactly the same type of support.
​
They make individual choices about what and when they eat. What internal and external activities they undertake.
All our current supported living schemes are based in the North London Borough of Enfield. They are located within a few minutes walking distance of each other. Hence the tenants live as part of the Paradise Community which creates opportunities for clients to make friends with each other.
Staffing
All staff have undergone comprehensive training to meet the varying demands or our client group. They are trained to deal with individuals with challenging behaviour and complex needs. Other training include understanding brain injury rehabilitation and psychological approaches in care provision. Throughout the year, staff attend a wide range of training and personal development courses to equip them to work effectively and professionally with our tenants.

Care & Support Plans
Each service user has an individually structured care and support plan with goals clearly identified and agreed. We embrace individuality and the life choices of the people we are supporting “You tell us what you want and we will support you in achieving it!”
The plan is drawn up by the service user in conjunction with the key worker and other professionals.
