About Us
Venus is a proudly independent group that has been providing specialist care for over 15 years. From the day of opening the doors to our first Home, we have adopted a very progressive approach to care, accepting challenges as part of the job and reaching out to anyone in need, especially to service-users who have been failed elsewhere in the care system.
By always working collaboratively and in partnership with Commissioning Groups, Social Workers and Families, we have built up a reputation of trust for the quality and safety of care we provide.
Within the Medium Intensity category, we have Community inpatient Step up/Step down units and Transitional Living Facilities. The former can take discharges directly from ATUs and Crisis Facilities as Step-Down placements, or from people who are in Crisis at Home as Step-Up placements.
On the Low Intensity category, we provide support within our Long Term Independent Living Placements. In many cases, where Service Users express preference in location (where they want to settle down, for example, to be closer to their family or friends) we have the ability to source properties to meet those requests.
There is a continuity of care within these care levels where someone can be stepped up or down along their care journey as their needs change ensuring any movement across the 3 tiers within Venus is seamless. We strive to dedicate a Team Leader and staff team for each Service User ensuring that any progress made is not lost on transitions and they remain stable, reducing any incidents of behaviours that challenge.
