AmberFern Care - Person-Centred Approach

Our care cycle

Person-Centred Planning

We follow a structured four-stage model to ensure every person receives tailored, responsive, and well-reviewed support.

Assessment

We begin by getting to know each individual, understanding their health, preferences, risks, and goals for support.

Planning

We co-create a support plan that reflects personal wishes, risk assessments, and input from families and professionals.

Delivery

Support is delivered respectfully and reliably by trained staff, tailored to evolving needs and preferences.

Review Cycle

Plans are regularly reviewed with the individual and support network to ensure goals are being met and care remains effective.

Supporting Daily Life & Building Confidence

Promoting Independence & Life Skills

We help individuals build confidence and skills for everyday life, promoting autonomy, inclusion, and personal growth through daily routines and support.

Promoting Choice

Encouraging individuals to make informed decisions in their daily lives, from routines to social engagement.

Supporting Daily Routines

Providing gentle assistance with personal care, meal prep, and household tasks while respecting autonomy.

Building Life Skills

Helping develop practical skills like budgeting, cooking, travel training, and personal organisation.

Encouraging Community Access

Supporting participation in education, volunteering, recreation, and faith or cultural activities.

Flexible, Evolving Support

Care plans adapt as needs change, from short-term goals to long-term skill-building.

Outcome-Focused Planning

We measure impact through quality of life improvements, independence, and individual feedback.

Safeguarding & Wellbeing

We create a culture of safety and transparency, ensuring every individual, family member, and staff member feels protected, respected, and supported.

Our Commitment

Safeguarding is woven into everything we do, from recruitment and staff training to incident management and governance. Every team member is trained to identify and respond to risks promptly and appropriately.

Our Framework

We operate a multi-faceted safeguarding strategy including DBS checks, regular audits, whistleblowing policies, and clear escalation procedures. We maintain full compliance with CQC and local authority standards.

Community Integration

Our approach reduces isolation, builds confidence, and promotes a real sense of belonging for the people we support.

Meaningful Social Inclusion

We support individuals to stay socially connected, from everyday interactions with neighbours or carers, to joining local interest groups and feeling part of their wider community. Social contact is key to reducing loneliness and building confidence.

Encouraging Local Engagement

We help people access local resources and attend events, religious services, volunteering placements, or skills-based groups that reflect their interests, cultural background, and personal goals. This reinforces identity and belonging.

Outcomes That Matter to People and Commissioners

Our work is measured not just by activity, but by meaningful outcomes that improve lives, support independence, and meet regulatory expectations.

Measured Progress Toward Goals

We track individual goals across domains like life skills, health, confidence, and social participation, with clear review cycles.

Improved Independence

Our support enables people to move from high-dependency to more autonomous living where safe and appropriate.

Increased Community Participation

We help reduce isolation and build social inclusion through volunteering, cultural engagement, and friendships.

Reduced Risk & Hospitalisation

Through early intervention and preventative care, we reduce the likelihood of escalation, incidents, and avoidable admissions.

Improved Health & Wellbeing

We support physical and mental health through medication prompts, appointments, wellbeing routines, and emotional support.

Positive Multi-Agency Feedback

We collaborate with social workers, NHS teams, and housing partners. We receive strong feedback on outcomes and coordination.

High Quality Assurance Ratings

Internal audits, spot checks, and commissioner reviews help us stay compliant, safe, and continuously improving.

Stronger Relationships & Social Bonds

We see improved family ties, friendships, and trust between people and their support teams.

Feedback-Driven Continuous Improvement

We listen to service users, families, and professionals to improve how we support, communicate, and deliver care.
