Mental Health Support

Compassionate Care in Your Own Home

At New Living, we understand that mental health is as crucial as physical health, and that living with a mental health condition can present unique challenges to daily life. Our Mental Health Support services are designed to provide sensitive, understanding, and person-centred care in the comfort and familiarity of your own home, promoting well-being, recovery, and independent living.

What is Mental Health Support (Domiciliary Care)?

Mental Health Support in a domiciliary setting refers to tailored assistance for individuals living with various mental health conditions, enabling them to manage their well-being, maintain their independence, and engage positively with their lives. It's about providing practical and emotional support within a familiar environment, reducing the need for residential care and supporting recovery journeys.

This type of care is highly individualised and focuses on empowering individuals to cope with challenges, develop life skills, and participate in their communities. It often includes:

• Emotional Support and Companionship: Providing a non-judgmental and empathetic presence to listen and offer encouragement.
• Routine and Structure: Helping establish stable daily routines that can aid in managing symptoms and improving overall well-being.
• Medication Reminders and Monitoring: Supporting adherence to prescribed medication regimens.
• Life Skills Development: Assisting with daily tasks such as personal hygiene, meal preparation, budgeting, and managing appointments.
• Social Engagement: Encouraging and facilitating participation in social activities, hobbies, and community integration.
• Crisis Prevention and Management: Identifying early warning signs of distress and implementing agreed-upon strategies for support.

Who Needs Mental Health Support?

Mental Health Support is suitable for individuals who:

• Are living with conditions such as depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, personality disorders, or other mental health challenges.
• Are finding it challenging to manage daily living tasks due to their mental health condition.
• Are transitioning from hospital or residential care back into their home environment.
• Require consistent support to maintain their routine, manage medication, or attend appointments.
