Alma Care is committed to working in line with the National Service Framework (NSF) for Mental Health. Alma Care sees how important it is for service users to have meaningful lives, independent living skills and good self-esteem. Our support focuses on recovery and our services work towards rehabilitation for service users, developing skills so that people can take greater control of their lives. We seek to support the person to make progress towards recovery through recognizing and building on their strengths, coping abilities, social networks and support systems.
We actively work with each of our service users so they develop the necessary skills to move-on successfully to less supported or independent accommodation with reduced hours of support. We achieve this through thorough assessment, support planning and review procedures, including Wellness Recovery Action Planning (WRAP), partnership working with housing providers and creative approaches to setting up good quality move-on options.

Our hourly care services
We Promote an all round approach to rehabilitation and work according to the principles of social inclusion and the Recovery Model. We work towards individual outcomes, with appropriate support in areas such as training, education, employment, emotional and spiritual well-being, maximising the use of existing community facilities and the promotion of independence to enable individuals to move on and take control over their lives. We work closely with the families and friends of service users to build informal support networks and supportive relationships.
Our staff members working in services for people with mental health needs are given training on the Recovery Model in their induction and as necessary during their employment to ensure a positive understanding of recovery. The effective promotion of the recovery approach and use of WRAPs also needs commitment from our service users to engage in a style of action that is service user directed and works by establishing and putting into practice coping strategies, crisis planning, collaborative working and a realistic and effective approach to recovery. This is a model of “co-production” which pools the resources of the service user, their support networks, our services and partner agencies to produce the best possible outcomes for the service user
