Case Management

We work with individuals who may need support managing personal welfare issues on a longer-term basis, this is for a monthly fixed fee. We receive referrals from individuals and their families as well as solicitors and law firms.

Case management is a process to plan, seek, advocate for, and monitor services from different social services or health care organizations and staff on behalf of a client. The process enables social workers in an organization, or in different organizations, to coordinate their efforts to serve a given client through professional teamwork, thus expanding the range of needed services offered. Case management limits problems arising from fragmentation of services, staff turnover, and inadequate coordination among providers. Case management can occur within a single, large organization or within a community program that coordinates services among settings (Barker, 2003).

We take referrals directly from individuals and from organisations. The impact to the clients we support has been significant, ranging from organising holidays, family reunions, support with daily activities, moving home, better integration of health and social care outcomes, better health outcomes and timely interventions such as non elective surgery.
