Aftercare Services

We provide high-quality, furnished single-occupancy units, promoting autonomy and creating a space where individuals can feel secure and at home, while still having access to care and support when needed.

Each individual receives a customised support plan, designed to address their unique needs and goals. This ensures the right balance of support and independence in a community-based setting, encouraging active participation in local life.

Our experienced and compassionate staff are available 24/7, with varying levels of intervention depending on assessed needs. From low-level check-ins to high-level, hands-on assistance, we adapt to the individual’s progress and preferences.

Access to the service is based on a robust assessment process, which evaluates readiness for semi-independent living, risk factors, and support requirements. We collaborate closely with social workers, mental health teams, and the individual to determine suitability and develop a transition plan.

As service users grow in confidence and capability, we offer a graduated reduction in support, empowering them to manage more aspects of daily life independently. This dynamic approach ensures care remains relevant without fostering dependency.

We place a strong focus on building life skills—such as budgeting, cooking, cleaning, and time management—and fostering self-management capabilities, equipping individuals to lead fulfilling, independent lives.

At Barróg Healthcare, our Shared Accommodation services provide a supportive, community-based living environment designed to foster personal growth, independence, and social connection. These homes offer shared facilities while promoting individual development and well-being.

Our shared accommodation models are designed to promote a sense of belonging and mutual respect. Residents live in safe, homely environments where shared spaces encourage interaction, inclusion, and a community ethos.

Living alongside peers provides natural opportunities for emotional support, shared experiences, and social learning. We actively promote social integration through structured group activities and informal communal living.

We maintain appropriate staff-to-resident ratios based on individual needs, risk assessments, and placement goals. Our skilled support teams offer guidance and supervision without compromising residents’ autonomy.

Each resident follows a personalised support and placement plan focused on developing core life skills—such as budgeting, cooking, self-care, and decision-making—to prepare them for more independent living in the future.

Barróg Healthcare is committed to empowering individuals to progress through our service pathway. Our accommodation is structured to act as a stepping stone toward greater independence or fully independent living, in line with each person’s aspirations and capabilities.

Each service user at Barróg Healthcare benefits from a person centred placement plan alongside their  aftercare plan, developed in close collaboration with them and their support network.
These plans are tailored to the unique needs, strengths, and aspirations of each individual.

Comprehensive Needs Assessment Methodologies
We carry out in-depth assessments using evidence-based tools to identify ongoing support needs across mental health, housing, education, employment, and social inclusion.

Goal-Setting and Outcome Measurement Frameworks
Our team works with service users to co-create realistic, measurable goals. We use structured frameworks to track progress and outcomes, ensuring that plans remain focused and meaningful.

Regular Review Processes and Adjustment Protocols
Aftercare plans are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in needs or circumstances. Our flexible approach allows for timely adjustments to ensure continuous, appropriate support.

Service User Involvement in Planning and Decision-Making
We actively involve individuals in every stage of their aftercare journey. From assessment to goal setting, their voice is central—promoting empowerment, autonomy, and lasting recovery.

Barróg Healthcare’s Aftercare service is designed to provide comprehensive, person-centred transition support for young people and adults moving from residential care or supported accommodation into more independent living.

Preparation strategies for moving between care settings
We ensure individuals are well-prepared for transitions by developing transition plans in collaboration with key stakeholders, including social workers,  aftercare workers families, and the individual themselves. These plans outline timelines, practical steps, and tailored support based on the individual’s needs, abilities, and aspirations.

Practical assistance during relocation and settlement
Barróg Healthcare offers hands-on support during the move, including help with packing, transportation, setting up utilities, and furnishing the new accommodation. Staff also assist with registering for local services (e.g., GP, dentist, social housing ) to ensure a smooth and supported settlement process.

Emotional and psychological support during transition periods
Recognising the emotional challenges that can come with change, our trained staff provide ongoing emotional support, mentoring, and therapeutic engagement. We work closely with mental health professionals where needed to ensure each individual feels safe, heard, and emotionally secure during transitions.

Community integration approaches
Barróg Healthcare encourages and supports active community engagement and social inclusion. Individuals are guided to participate in local groups, activities, and services, fostering a sense of belonging, independence, and identity within their new community.

Our Aftercare programme is committed to empowering individuals to live independently and thrive, through structured and supported life skills development.

Independent living skills training programmes
We provide practical training in daily life tasks such as cooking, cleaning, laundry, personal hygiene, and managing appointments, tailored to each person’s starting point and learning pace. Staff enage with key working session to support in achieving growth in these skills.

Budgeting and financial management education
Individuals receive education and support in managing money responsibly, including budget planning, understanding bills, savings, benefits advice, and avoiding debt. We aim to build financial confidence and independence.

Health and wellbeing self-management techniques
We teach strategies for maintaining physical and mental health, including nutrition, exercise, medication management, stress reduction, sleep hygiene, and access to healthcare services. Individuals are supported in developing a proactive and informed approach to personal wellbeing.
