What the ARCH offers
 
Overview What the ARCH offers SCA Standards

The Flats

Each flat, two of which are fully accessible for disabled people, is open plan incorporating:
  • A combined shower room and toilet
  • A bedroom with a built-in wardrobe, single bed, set of drawers and bedside cabinet with bedside light.
  • The lounge with small settee, chair, folding table and dining chairs.
  • The kitchen contains a washer/dryer, cooker and fridge. Crockery, cutlery, pots and cooking utensils are also supplied.




The Support Centre

The administration and support centre is located on the ground floor. This consists of an office and reception area, a group room, two interview rooms and a small kitchen. The lounge can be subdivided if required and the usual disabled facilities are available.


What Support Do We Offer?

The level of support is determined by the assessed needs of the individual. Throughout the occupancy an ongoing assessment is undertaken, by the means of the ‘Rickter Scale’. Project staff provide support in the resident’s flat and in the support centre. This is supplemented by other agencies who provide education, counseling and social skills. These activities take place in the ARCH support centre. Various agencies also offer to provide assistance with addiction counseling, job seekers training, and social activity support.



In our support we cover the following

  • General Housekeeping/Budgeting
  • Tenancy issues/Benefits
  • Health/emotional support/general advice
  • Personal development/employment advice and help.
