Care for children with additional needs

When your child needs care and support, you want someone you can trust, someone who understands your child’s special needs, and someone your family can rely on. At Lighthouse Bespoke Healthcare our staff are fully trained to provide care and support to families with children in their own home.

 

Our service also supports adolescents and young adults who might be experiencing mental health and challenging behaviors due to their complex health needs.

Our care team have practical experience in dealing with challenging behaviour, autistic spectrum disorders, complex health needs, physical disabilities, and sensory impairment.

​

We can offer temporary care while a parent or guardian is in hospital or recovering from an illness, or longer-term support for a child with disabilities or special needs.

We also offer support in managing placements for children who are absconding from home and frequently attend A&E requiring a high level of care and supervision within a supported living accommodation.

​

Our care packages are tailored to meet your specific requests, including:

• Getting ready for school or college in the mornings

• One-to-one support at school

• Shopping trips, social or cultural events, leisure, and sport

• Help with personal care, meals and feeding!

• Attending medical appointments

• Doing activities at home

• Getting ready for bed and perhaps a bedtime story

• Supporting the family to establish daily routines.

​

We see every child as unique so before our service begins, we will spend time getting to know about them:

• How they communicate

• Their needs and how you prefer these to be met.

• Their likes and dislikes

• The things that are important to them

 

Our staff take a need’s led and goal-based approach in achieving the identified outcomes of the child or young person.

 

We also aim to offer an integrated therapeutic intervention approach which we call the Restorative Therapy Recovery Program. The focal point of the program is as below: -

• Self-management

• Positive Coping strategies

• Resilience Building

• Positive Behavioral Support

• Individual Development and outcomes

• Social Support

• Mental Health

• Advocacy & signposting

​

We also take a holistic approach in embedding the views of the young person, their family and other professionals in the decision-making process.

You can be rest assured that all our staff are rigorously checked; your child’s safety and well-being is our number one priority. We carefully select the right team to provide your child with the continuity of care they need.
