Who we support
The people we support at Thames House typically have a primary mental health or neurological diagnosis, alongside complex physical health conditions such as bladder and bowel conditions, cognitive impairments, mobility impairments, pressure ulcers/wounds, and respiratory conditions.
Our nurse-led team is trained to manage clinical interventions, including catheters, PEGs, and tracheostomies, which can be more challenging when combined with a mental health diagnosis and/or behaviours of concern.
To ensure a truly holistic approach, people can also access Exemplar Health Care’s regional Physiotherapist and Occupational Therapist where assessed needs are identified.
Community-fit in the home
Instead of grouping people by age, we prioritise ‘community fit’, building a diverse, inclusive, and engaging community that complements personalised goal setting, care planning, and meaningful activities.
The right care, the first time
Many of the people we support have experienced failed placements due to the complexity of their needs.
With individualised staffing levels, positive risk-taking, and a focus on maximising independence, we support people at their own pace, building trust and confidence over time.
Through our highly skilled team and integrated clinical approach, we aim to provide a stable and supportive home where individuals can thrive – ending the disruptive and expensive cycle of failed placements and hospital readmissions.
