💚Moving from hospital into community-based care requires careful planning, consistency and the right support around the person.

Our Bridging Support is designed to support this transition, bringing multidisciplinary expertise into the process before, during and after the move.

In our latest blog, co-produced with Darren Moyle, PBS Lead Practitioner, we explore how multidisciplinary teams can work together to support safer, more sustainable transitions.

By working collaboratively with the person, commissioners, families and professionals involved in their care, we can build a shared understanding of their needs, communication, risks, preferences and goals.

The article explores the importance of early planning, Positive Behaviour Support, shared risk management and continuity throughout the transition, as well as how we can look beyond avoiding readmission and consider outcomes such as greater independence, choice and quality of life.

⏱️When a placement is at risk of breakdown, understanding what’s happening is just as important as responding quickly.

Periods of crisis can be incredibly challenging for the person, their family and the professionals supporting them. But a placement reaching a difficult point doesn’t mean we should stop looking at what can be done differently.

We work closely with commissioners and wider multidisciplinary teams to understand the individual’s needs, identify risks and explore the factors contributing to the current situation.

Our focus isn’t simply on managing the immediate crisis. It’s about creating the right support around the person to help restore stability and work towards more sustainable, long-term outcomes.

⏱️When a situation is urgent, being able to respond quickly matters. For urgent and complex referrals, support can be mobilised in as little as two hours where circumstances allow.

🌿If you have an urgent or complex referral you’d like to discuss, our Referrals & Admissions team is here to help:

💚Jack's journey is a wonderful example of what can happen when support is built around the person.

After spending 18 months moving between temporary homes, Jack now has the stability to focus on what matters most to him: enjoying life. Today, his days are filled with trips to the beach, swimming, time outdoors and moments shared with family.

One of the milestones we're especially proud of is seeing Jack return to swimming. Through careful planning, positive risk-taking and the right support, something that had once been out of reach became possible again.
His journey continues, with new goals, new opportunities and every reason to look forward to what's next.

We believe great support is about more than meeting needs. It's about helping people build confidence, embrace new opportunities and live lives that are meaningful to them.

😊Seeing smiles like this says it all. Jacob recently enjoyed a week's holiday with his support team, an important milestone that reflects the progress he's made and the opportunities now open to him.

As he prepares to move into his own home with support, experiences like these are helping him build the confidence, independence and skills for this exciting next chapter.

We're so proud of everything he's achieving. 💚

The PERMA Model is a practical framework that encourages us to look beyond behaviours and diagnoses to better understand what contributes to a person's wellbeing.

By focusing on positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning and accomplishment, it helps shape support around the person and what matters most to them.

By understanding what brings someone joy, purpose and connection, we can support outcomes that matter to them.

Swipe through to explore the five elements of the PERMA Model and how they can help shape more person-centred support. 💚

💚For Paul, spending three weeks in Cyprus with his family wasn't just a holiday, it was an opportunity to reconnect with his heritage, create lasting memories, and do something that means a great deal to him.

Making this possible required careful planning, collaboration with Paul's family, and a support team committed to understanding what mattered most to him. The result was a safe, meaningful experience that reflected Paul's goals and preferences.

At Leaf Complex Care, person-centred care means looking beyond someone's needs and focusing on what brings purpose, happiness and a sense of belonging to their life.

🌱An Outstanding rating isn't something you achieve once.

It's something you work towards every single day.

When we asked members of our Somerset team what makes the service special, very few mentioned the rating.

Instead, they spoke about listening to families.
Supporting one another.
Learning when things don't go to plan.
Taking positive risks safely.
Celebrating every milestone, no matter how small.

We're honoured that Leaf Complex Care Somerset has been recognised as Outstanding by the CQC. To us, it's a reflection of the care, teamwork and commitment our people show every day.

This video is a small glimpse into the culture behind the rating.

💚Because at the heart of outstanding care are people.

🌿What if we looked at risk differently?

Positive risk-taking isn't about ignoring risk or compromising safety.
It's about understanding the person, planning together, and creating opportunities that help people live meaningful, independent lives.

Too often, risk is seen as something to avoid. But when the right support is in place, positive risk-taking can build confidence, increase independence, strengthen relationships, and improve quality of life.

We believe the best outcomes come from balancing safety, choice and independence, working alongside the people we support, their families and professionals to make informed decisions together.

📸When someone says, "Let's get a quick team photo"... everyone knows it's never just one photo.🤭

It was brilliant to have so many of our team together.

These moments remind us that while we work across different services, locations and shifts, we're all connected by the same goal: providing outstanding, person-centred care.

A huge thank you to every member of the Leaf Complex Care team for your compassion, dedication and the difference you make every single day.

And yes... Marty definitely stole the show. 🐶💚
