Assisted Lives- Social Inclusion

Assisted Lives Social Inclusion Services:

Social inclusion services in care focus on promoting the participation, engagement, and integration of individuals into their communities, despite any barriers they may face due to age, disability, illness, or other circumstances.

Summary of social inclusion services at Assisted Lives:

• Community Engagement Programs: These programs aim to connect individuals with their local communities by organising social activities, outings, and events. This could include group excursions to cultural events, parks, or recreational facilities.
• Skills Development and Training: Social inclusion services may offer training programs and skill-building workshops to empower individuals with the tools and resources they need to actively participate in community life. This could include courses on communication, computer skills, job readiness, or hobbies and interests.
• Accessible Spaces and Activities: Ensuring that community spaces and activities are accessible to individuals with disabilities or mobility limitations is essential for supporting with social inclusion visits. Social inclusion services work to remove physical, architectural, and communication barriers to ensure that everyone can fully participate and engage in community life.
• Family and Carer Support: Social inclusion services recognise the importance of supporting families and carers in promoting the social inclusion of their loved ones. This may involve providing information, resources, and respite support to help families and carers navigate challenges and maintain their own well-being.
