Lot Information

Homecare Services

ITTH172 Home care services encompass a wide range of health and social services that are provided in an individual's home rather than in a hospital or care home. These services are designed to enable individuals to live independently and comfortably in their own homes. The nature and scope of home care services can vary significantly based on the needs of the individual and can include medical, personal, and supportive care. Home care services are tailored to the specific needs and preferences of the individual. This personalised approach ensures that the care provided is both effective and comfortable.

Supported Living Services

ITTH173 Supported living refers to schemes that provide personal care to people as part of the support that they need to live in their own homes. The personal care is provided under a separate contractual arrangement to those for the person's housing. The accommodation is often shared, usually as a small group, but can be single household. Supported living enables adults with support needs to live in their own home with the help they need to be independent. It allows them to choose: where they want to live who with how they want to be supported what happens in their own home.

Care Home Services

ITTH174 The aim and purpose of Care Home Services is to deliver high quality, person centred support to older people and those with specialist needs, for whom it is no longer possible to live in their own homes, to achieve a good quality of life and death. The provider should offer older people and those with specialist needs the opportunity to enhance the quality of life by providing person centred care and support that is safe, manageable and comfortable within a stimulating home environment.
