Montagu Community Living, Our Resident Focus
Montagu maintains a happy and safe home environment of the highest standard for the residents by using the following:
- Keyworkers - Each resident has a staff member appointed as their main contact person with in the shared home;
- Personal Plan - Each resident's plan combines a personal profile with a set of current goals to be achieved within 18 months;
- Individual Programs - Programs are designed to meet needs as required in all aspects of everyday living;
- Social Shifts - Each resident has a regular one-on-one staff support for social committments;
- Family Support - We welcome family and friends input into the resident's lives;
- Annual Holidays - Each resident has the opportunity to take an annual holiday.
- Resident Programs - We maintain a budget for resident activities after hours and on weekends. Resident's can choose to be involved as much, or as little as they like. Resident's come together to enjoy each others company on a regular basis. Activities can include movie nights, where we hire a large screen projector, physio programs, scrap booking night, bowling, dances, theme nights and dinner parties between shared homes.
- Montagu Newsletter - All shared homes, staff, residents and their families contribute to and/or are sent a newsletter. The aims are to inform and amuse all, letting everyone know what's happening, birthday celebrations, training completed and any new developments occurring in the organisation.
