Carers who support someone who may consider a Supported Living home in the future or are on the waiting list for Supported Living.

Overview

Supported Living engagement Carers Surveys – Your Home Your Say

Sefton Council is working jointly with Sefton Carers Centre and Healthwatch Sefton to understand the views carers have about Supported Living.

The main reason for Supported Living is for people with an eligible care need to live in their own home and have control over the support they receive. Supported Living can look different for different people.  For one person, a few hours support a week may meet their needs. For another person they may require support all day every day to assist them.

We want to co-produce a range of high quality accommodation with support across Sefton by 2025 for both older adults and young adults with disabilities. The co-produced services will better meet people’s care and support needs, whilst promoting their health, wellbeing, and independence.

Why your views matter

We would appreciate your time in completing this survey. This will give us information to develop the draft Supported Living Strategy and future services.

We want to work with our key partners in Sefton including those who provide services and people with lived experience and their carers.

You can fill in a paper copy, to get one please call 0151 934 2888 or email yourhomeyoursay@sefton.gov.uk and ask for one to be sent to you or you can collect and return a survey from Sefton Carers Centre at Waterloo or from the Life Rooms in Southport.

Paper copies will have a freepost envelope to send it back to us.

You can give us your views over a phone call 0151 934 2888.

At the end of the survey you will be asked if you want to give an email address so that you can receive a copy of your response. You do not have to do this. The email address is only used to send the email to you from Your Sefton Your Say. The email address will not be stored with the responses and Sefton Council will not have access it, unless you have given your email address as part of the survey.

What happens next

The feedback you provide will help us to review these responses with our partners and local authority commissioners in Sefton to help to plan and shape supported living provision in the borough of Sefton.  Thank you for your time in completing this survey.
