About this home

Our Deaf Outreach service in Hampshire supports young adults, adults and elderly individuals with hearing impairments, autism spectrum conditions, mental health needs and/or learning difficulties. The outreach service offers individualised support packages in the Hordle area, in the person’s family home, own home and in the community. People are supported to live as independently as possible, and can choose the level of support they require from 1 to 24 hours a day.

The staff who work in these services are all BSL trained with a large proportion of them being Deaf or Hard of Hearing themselves. Some staff are Profoundly Deaf, whilst others have Cochlear implants.

What we offer

The Hampshire outreach service supports individuals with a range of aspects and in varying degrees dependent on individual needs. People can choose the degree to which they are supported, and will be assisted in any areas of their lives that they required which can include appointments, medication, social and leisure activities, self-care, budgeting, daily living skills, holidays and employment to name a few.

We are experienced with supporting people with personal budgets and direct payments and can provide all relevant support. We will help the individual recruit support staff, from advertising to interviewing potential candidates, as well as taking care of the paperwork.

Lifestyle

Hampshire deaf service is committed to helping people we support take part in community activities, have active social lives where possible and attend work placements and/or education placements. We ensure that each individual takes part in meaningful activities that enrich their lives and build on a range of skills including social and communication skills.

People will be supported in developing their life skills such as self-care, meal preparation, budgeting and domestic tasks in order to promote independent living.

The supported living services provided are close to the local beach, not too far from Bournemouth and Southampton Deaf Clubs as well as the local college who supply BSL communication support for a number of government-run and leisure courses.
