Our approach
We have embraced the BILD approach to Positive Behaviour Support (PBS), which also involves the Restraint Reduction Network (RRN), and have in-house BILD trained coaches, who work to enhance the culture to promote positive behaviour outcomes.
We also have a strong person-centred ethos and have taken the things that people have told us are important to them to develop our own PBS quality standards.
The Meadows focuses on giving people as much control as possible over their own lives, developing independence and skills of daily living; assisting them to shop, prepare meals, and eat and drink on their own, thereby enabling them to learn and obtain new skills.
Everyone living here is involved in deciding how the home is run, choosing their key support workers and selecting decoration for the communal areas, group activities and their own bedrooms.
Meaningful Activities
The Meadows promotes a number of meaningful activities to help people meet their individual needs and aspirations, including assistance with:
- Tasks of Daily Living
- Personal care and taking medication
- Money management
- Building links with visits to friends, family and the community
- Using public transport
- Making healthy lifestyle choices involving social and leisure activities
