The Beulah Projectshave been designed to create sustainable tenancies for our clients, by providing them with appropriate practical and emotional support. Central to this objective will be working practices that maximise independence, dignity and privacy.

 

OCL believes that integrated working across the housing, health and social care sectors is essential to maximise the ability of people with mental health needs to live in the community.

 

Each tenant will have an individual support plan reflecting their different needs, interests and abilities.

The Project will also offer shared facilities, which will offer clients the opportunity to meet their neighbours in a safe and supportive environment. Clients will have the choice of meeting with staff in their own rooms, in a Project Manager office, or in a meeting room.

 

Staff supports clients to try out new things, such as experiences and activities and give each individual opportunity to meet with people and encourage new friendships. Clients are encouraged to develop and maintain skills to promote their independence.

 

Clients are encouraged to join in with daily activities including Gardening, Gym Art, Leisure activities, Music, and Keep fit.
