About the people and their home
The staff and people we support at Mandalay are a family unit. We have a wide range of personalities, but we come together to laugh and have fun. The people we support are awesome, and each have the most endearing personality. From a football fanatic, puzzle experts to music lovers. If you love going out for coffee and cake or afternoon tea, then you are already ahead of the game as we rarely have a week go by without this activity. Having fun is our world, from long walks on the beach with a cheeky ice-cream at the end, sailing on the broads, visiting local petting farms or just simply baking a yummy cake. We all love the water so between us we swim almost every day, therefore a swimming kit is essential and part of our uniform. We support the people to fulfil their dreams which includes holidays and cheeky weekends away.
The support we need includes personal care, arranging and attending appointments, monitoring our health, ordering and administering medication and organising our finances. We also need support with our laundry and completing room cleans, maintaining general hygiene in our home and for ourselves. We also need support with cooking and meal preparation and engaging with others in the community.
Home achievements and people’s goals: being part of the community, having meaningful activities, living more independently, keeping safe, recording and de – escalating challenging behaviours support worker can enable us to reach our goals and help us live fulfilling lives.
