CHILDREN’S SERVICES

Phoenix operate a broad portfolio of Children’s homes providing 52 week residential care for children and young people unable to live at home and for whom a foster family is currently unsuitable or an aspiration.

Our homes range in configuration including single occupancy, 2 bed, 3 bed and 4 bed services that are located across the South West in both rural and urban environments. All our homes work to give individuals the chance to flourish with the key outcome of being to assist the child or young person with the crisis or issues currently faced whilst simultaneously helping them develop the skills and abilities they would need to move on either back to their parents, into foster care or into independent living.

All homes are supported with a therapeutic model and specific services have direct 1-1 bespoke therapy program linked to need.

Phoenix offer short term crisis stabilisation services for young people who have experienced significant placement disruption and maybe presenting high risk behaviours. During the 12 week maximum stay there is strong emphasis on creating structure and developing strategies for young people to cope towards moving to foster placement or into a registered children’s home.

ADULT SERVICES

Phoenix supported living services are located at the heart of the local community with facilities, activities and opportunities nearby to help people flourish and live independently.

A personalised support plan is configured based upon needs, priorities and aspirations which might include personal care, managing finances, housekeeping, finding education, work or exploring leisure activities. Phoenix supported living services encourage independent living and facilitate people to live either on their own, live with others in shared accommodation or a mix of both by having a flat alongside others in one building. Our Supported Living services exist in South Devon around the Dawlish and Teignmouth areas.
