Flat 7
Have you ever thought about independent living but would like to try it first?
Or maybe you would like to develop your life skills before moving in on your own?
mosaic: shaping disability services can give you the opportunity to experience living on your own.
Flat 7 is a fully accessible, furnished ground-floor flat with two bedrooms, lounge, spacious kitchen and bathroom with bath and Chiltern shower.
It is situated at Harrison Court on Packwood Road, Stocking Farm, Leicester.
This is a block of fully accessible flats for disabled people.
Flat 7 is owned by De Montfort Housing Society, but mosaic: shaping disability services are responsible for managing Flat 7, taking bookings and providing support. It is funded by Leicester City Council Adult and Housing Department.
Twenty-four hour support is provided to all tenants at Harrison Court and this also includes emergency support for anyone booking Flat 7. However we may be able to provide support with some care packages.
The Support Service is registered as a Domiciliary Care Agency with the Care Quality Commission. This means we have to work to the standards set by the Care Quality Commission.
Your Social Worker will draw up a care plan for you before entering Flat 7 and will negotiate with mosaic the amount of support mosaic staff will provide over and above emergency cover. If you need extra support your Social Worker will arrange it.
A Social Worker or Occupational Therapist can book Flat 7 for anyone who would like to try out independent living with or without a carer. You may also be able to use Flat 7 for alternative respite care or to move out of your present accommodation for a short period while an adaptation is carried out on your property.
There will be no charge for using Flat 7 if you live in the City; there will be a charge if you live in the County. You will need to discuss this with your social worker if you have one, or you can contact mosaic direct for more information.
If you are interested in booking Flat 7, or you would like more information, contact: Michael Brittain on 07792 702299 or ask your social worker or Occupational Therapist to contact us for more details.
