❓ : Can we support people who are non-verbal or non-speaking?

100% yes, we do support people with learning disabilities, mental health conditions, acquired brain injuries and other complex needs who are either non-verbal or non-speaking. On National Non-Speaking/Non-Verbal day, we're reminded that communication is so much more than words. From writing and sign language to communication tools such as Talking Mats and Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS), there are many ways to connect.

FAQ Tuesday : Bridging the Gap!

Supporting people with the most complex needs move out of hospital into the right community setting isn't always easy to picture.

To make it clearer, we've put together a short animation that shows exactly how we bridge the gap between hospital and traditional supported living services - helping people move into their forever homes.

Creating bespoke supported living packages begins with clinical insight. This is the subject of this week's blog. A comprehensive clinical assessment is the foundation for:
✅ understanding complex mental health and social needs,
✅building person-centred plans that empower independence,
✅matching the right environment , staffing and support strategies,
✅reducing risks and improving quality of life.

Without this step, 'bespoke' packages risk becoming generic solutions that don't deliver lasting impact. We believe that clinical insight and collaboration creates the most meaningful outcomes for individuals and their families.

Happy Makaton International Awareness Day! The ability to communicate easily with others is something many of us take for granted. Makaton gives people the tools to express themselves, connect with others and participate fully in everyday life. Meet Ellie, an active young autistic person who we support and read how Makaton has given her the ability to communicate her wishes and needs with her support team and her family.

❓
Q: How do you set up a new package of support, and how long does it take?

A: 🏡 We aim to set up each new bespoke package of support within 12 weeks from contract signing. Our mobilisation process is designed to be clear and collaborative and includes sourcing and securing a property and recruiting and training a dedicated team. Our approach enables us to create the right package of support for each individual, which significantly increases the likelihood of a successful long-term placement.

We've just published a new case study that breaks down the key steps involved. You can take a look here 👉 https://www.grayhealthcare.com/case-study/femis-story/
