Making a support plan
Do you need to make a support plan? It can help you to work out how
much and what kind of support you may need.
The plan you make should be person-centred. A good, person-centred
support plan will:
� say what is important to you and for you
� say what things are like for you now and how you want your
life to be in the future
�be made with your circle of support and include family,
carers, and friends
� say what support you need to make your plan work
� have an action plan

Choosing a Home - top tips
7
Take time to think about what is important to you. Finding a home
is about you. Do not just move somewhere because there is
a space - look for somewhere that is right for you.
Talk to other people who live in the same type of housing that you
are looking at. And talk to people who have similar support needs.
How long will you live there? Just for a short while or for the rest of
your life? There are some types of housing that you may only be able
to live in for a short time.
Choosing a Home - top tips

What talents do you have? Think about what you can do
for yourself. What would you like to learn?
How much responsibility do you want to have? Do you want to be in
control of paying bills and looking after your home, or do you want
someone else to do this? This can be very different depending on the
type of housing you live in.
Perhaps you do not feel ready right now to live in the type of home
you want. You might think about living somewhere else first, so that
you can learn skills for when you are ready to move on to the home
you really want.

Housing
Things to remember:
� There may be a waiting list for some types of housing.
� Some types of housing are more difficult to get than others.
� Wherever you live:
○ Adult Social Care may pay for some support. This depends
on the amount of support you need. But, even if they say
they will help with support, they might still ask you to pay
towards the cost, if they think you can afford to.
○ You may also pay for private support.
○ You may get help for free from your family and friends.
