Right Focus can help, guide and advise on which option is best for you.
Option 1: Do It Yourself!
Self Directed Support allows you to employ your own carer or personal assistant. This can sound difficult, but Right Focus will help and guide you through every step in choosing the right person for you.
Once you have found the person you want, we'll advise you on your responsibilities.
Option 2: Provider
You can use your personal budget to buy support from a provider, something called an 'Individual Service Fund'. The benefits of this approach are:
- your money is securely held by the provider on your behalf
- you decide how to spend the money
- the provider is accountable to you
- your provider will only spend the money on your service
When talking to Right Focus, remember to ask about Individual Service Funds.
Above all, we want to ensure the care and support option you choose suits your way of life.
If you want to talk about these options in more detail and find out which would be best for you, call Right Focus on 01539 735 025 or complete our online contact form click here.
