Steps
STEPS is an epilepsy specialist Supported Living and Domiciliary Care Service, supporting clients who live in their own homes in the community. Some clients have tenancies that are owned / managed by their Landlords, such as the Estates Department at the Epilepsy Society and Aragon Housing, who we work in partnership with to support clients to maintain their tenancy and independent living.
We provide support to meet the individual’s needs which may include personal care, meal preparation, cooking, medication management, shopping, participating in community activities, contacting the landlord for any housing issues. Background support is available 24 hrs a day in the supported living accommodation.
This service is available at Epilepsy Society’s supported living accommodation at our Chalfont Centre in Buckinghamshire. We respect each person’s right to independence, privacy, dignity and empower them to be able to make informed choices about their lives.
