Community Mental Health Support Services
Altair specialises in providing specialist mental health support to adults living with complex mental health problems, requiring care at home and in the community. We work in collaboration with community mental health teams to deliver excellent integrated, recovery focused and evidence based care in an environment that makes an individual feel safe and well supported.
What we offer:
Support at home
We make it possible for people living with mental health illness or those who may have left hospital to live as independently as possible by supporting them to achieve recovery and independence. We will listen to you and work with you to plan your care in accordance with your wishes.
Collaboration
We work in partnerships with care-coordinators, commissioners, community mental health teams, hospital teams, Local Authorities, families and clients to deliver personalised packages of care tailored to each service user's needs.
Recovery
We also support people who may have relapsed while living independently, helping them to get back on their recovery journey and continue living independently.
Our services are designed to help people restore the skills and confidence needed to live successfully in the community, while also preventing hospital admissions and supporting discharge plans by ensuring that those who need support receive it in the comfort of their own homes.
