Community Based Services

Outreach Support

Our Outreach Support is aimed at preventing people from becoming homeless. This includes people who are in crisis, who are behind in paying their rent, require help with basic living needs and immediate support to move forward. You will be allocated a key worker who will assist you to identify the areas where you would benefit from support.

Gateway provides immediate housing support in the community to help folk get back on tract. All housing support is person centred and tailored to your specific needs by our experienced key workers.

Outreach Care Support/Care at home

Our Outreach Care Support provides mobile care in your home. This service is designed to enable and support people to stay at home, supporting and maximising independence either in the home or out in the community.

Gateway’s team of Key Workers are experience in providing care and support in a variety of settings to our most vulnerable and hard to reach individuals and their families. We use our experience to offer innovative support packages to meet complex needs within an individually designed support package.

Self Directed Support

SDS gives you control over an individual budget and allows you to choose how it is spent on support which meets your agreed health and social care outcomes.

Gateway support services offers you friendly support that is tailored to your individual needs and hopes.

Support packages are designed to provide support of your choice, whether it is learning a new skill, becoming more involved in the community, a shopping trip, bird watching, or an evening at the theatre.

Structured support packages can also be provided where we would be providing assistance with attending appointments, health eating choices, sign posting or whatever you need assistance with.

Speak with our experienced support staff for further information on this service provision.
