Aims and Objectives

Our aims and objectives are to improve the quality of life for people with learning disabilities and complex needs by:

Actively involving people in the care and support they receive, and how it will be delivered and reviewed;
Maximising choice and control for everyone;
Supporting and enabling people to be as independent as possible by agreeing goals and aspirations that are meaningful to them;
Offering people new experiences and promoting existing interests;
Encouraging community participation and citizenship;
Widening peoples’ circles of support;
Optimising health and emotional wellbeing;
Treating people with dignity, respect and understanding; and
Supporting people to live independent lives free from bullying, fear and harassment.

Deanston House aims to provide a care pathway for people so better outcomes can be achieved that will enable individuals to live as independently as possible in the community.

Deanston House is a part of the care pathway for people who are stepping down from hospital care, whose community placement is breaking down or they are being repatriated from out of area/country. The service will focus on positive rehabilitation and will reduce the number of people in hospital or prevent admissions into hospital.
