1.1 Describe how being supported to live at home can benefit an individual
when we have to support an individuals to live at home, this can benefit individual service users because support can helps promote and encouraging them to be more independence. The service users gain a greater sense of normality, they will have more time to spent with loved ones or more likely to get visits from friends and family, they will be able to maintain a little more control and choice over daily routines. The individual service users can be surrounded by their own possessions with which can hold fond memories that are attached to some items from friends and family. Individual service users Being supported in their own homes, will have less interruptions or noise from other ’tenants or residents' of the house which can cause or who may confused of situations e.g. review meeting or 1 to 1 personal meetings of how they are progressing in confidents and independence in their homes.
Support for service users makes it possible to maintain their independence and physical ability and encourages individual service users with their disabilities to maximise their own potential and independence in ways which:
• maximise their independence and confidence
• maximise their rights and choice
• maintain their privacy
