Care Journey
At Venus we provide a unique proposition of being able to provide care, support and accommodation throughout a person’s full care journey. We achieve this by establishing a close partnership with social landlords who can adapt to our requirements, be it a specific location, a type of property or layout of the property. This provides stability of the accommodation without risk of short term relocations. Our organisation is set up to allow maximum flexibility for any changes in support levels, whilst maintaining continuity of care and familiarity of a constant staff mix
Continuity of Care
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 are not lost on transitions and they remain stable, reducing any incidents of behaviours that challenge.
Under the High Intensity category, a typical care package would include round the clock highly
supportive care, input from Clinical Psychologist, Psychiatrist, Occupational Therapist and direct
supervision from Registered Mental Health Nurse. We have Crisis facilities where we can accommodate discharges from Assessment and Treatment Units (ATU) or emergency placements from Places of Safety. These built environments are designed to meet specific care needs and enhance the care services delivery; with flexibility for any necessary adaptations.

This provides stability of the accommodation without risk of short term relocations. Our organisation is set up to allow maximum flexibility for any changes in support levels, whilst maintaining continuity of care and familiarity of a constant staff mix. We cater for three different level of care -High Intensity, Medium Intensity and Low Intensity.
Within the Medium Intensity category, we have Community in-patient 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 Lower 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.
