An overview on where we are
Key to our success remains our
ability to be innovative and
adaptable to the changing
market conditions presented.
Our success this year in taking on
a new younger person’s project
in Medway for supported
housing I hope will stand us in
good stead as we look to develop
such specialist services.
Our
commitment at short notice in
running a step down facility at
Bridge Haven care home for
hospital discharge, delivered
excellent outcomes for people
placed
with
considerable
financial savings for the NHS.
Our investment in our home care
support service to grow our
business to enable us to reach
more people at home, reflects our
wish to diversify and expand

Our Homes are now operating in
the most complex, competitive
and some would say the most
uncertain care market for
decades with the arrival of the
new Care Act in 2016.
Our
commitment is to invest in our
homes with well trained staff
teams and leaders, able to attract
and market their homes to the
local communities they serve.
This year we will see an increase
in the number of private referrals
into our homes, as we strive to
see around half our placements
sold to private individuals, with a
continued commitment to the
local authority demand in the
regions we operate in. Many of

A Registered Charity
(Registered No.1002727)
our homes will see property
investment to ensure we are well
placed to attract families wishing
to place a loved one.
Innovation also comes in how we
deliver care and support with a
new operations team now in
place to be adaptive and
responsive to the requirements of
commissioners and inspectors.
We must be a learning
organisation with the ability to be
flexible, to adapt to the
requirements and to deliver
proven outcomes to the people
we support.
As such policies
will continue to be reviewed and
where possible simplified with
commitment to understanding the
challenges faced for staff working
in our services.
