A Positive Behaviour Support approach (PBS) aims to understand the reasons behind an individual’s behaviours of concern and offer person-centred solutions to enable them to have a better quality of life. PBS is a scientific process which reduces behaviours of concern, incidents and the use of restrictive practices. Please click on the link to our video to understand more about PBS and our approach.

This is why we are actively involved in the Transforming Care Programme (TCP), supporting people to move from long stay hospitals, assessment and treatment units back into their home communities. Through the Transforming Care Programme, Bethphage is experienced in working with Local Authorities and the NHS to identify people living in hospitals who are able to live in the community, in less restrictive environments, ensuring the correct care and support is in place. As part of the TCP process, Bethphage has already supported a number of individuals to return home, including those released from mental health section.

Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that affects how a person communicates with, and relates to, other people. It affects how they make sense of the world around them. It is a spectrum condition which means, that while all people with autism can share certain difficulties or challenges, their condition can affect them in different ways. Being autistic means your brain works in a different way from other people. It is something you are born with, or first appears when you are very young. At Bethphage, we support adults with learning disabilities and autism in various settings. Some autistic people need little or no support. Others may need help from a parent or carer every day, while others may live fully independent lives. As part of a person centred ‘assessment’ process, people’s individual requirements are established and tailored support is identified to support people with a range of sensory, behavioural, and communication requirements, both by utilising skills from our own staff, the Positive Behaviour Support Team and through collaborative working with others.

We have skilled staff teams who provide high quality, 24-hour care to people with high support needs. Each person is unique, which is why we treat everyone as an individual, knowing there is not one uniformed approach. Our experienced staff team work closely with families, carers and professionals to ensure a smooth transition process. Through our person-centred planning, we get to know the person, understanding their likes and dislikes alongside their wishes and aspirations. We enable people to build on their skills and try new things, ensuring a good balance between taking risks and enjoying opportunities. We support people to feel involved in their community, step by step at each individual’s pace, developing strategies which enable them to realise their potential. Our registered care home offers a permanent home or a place for people to be assessed and supported to progress into more independent living.
