Positive Outcomes

At Apple Care Group, our goal is to provide comprehensive support and guidance to the young people in our care. We focus on helping them develop essential life skills, preparing them for a successful and independent future. Our staff conducts regular Key Working sessions, following the 9 Quality Standards, to ensure that each individual receives the care and support they need.

Personalized Support Through Key Working Sessions

Building Stronger Connections

Our staff conducts both planned and unplanned Key Working sessions to develop a deeper understanding of each young person’s needs, challenges, and aspirations. Through these sessions, we build strong relationships, offering tailored guidance and emotional support. This personalized approach helps young people develop confidence, independence, and essential life skills. By addressing their social, emotional, and practical development, we ensure they feel valued, understood, and empowered to overcome obstacles and achieve their full potential.

Encouraging Positive Behaviour

At Apple Care Group, we believe in fostering a positive environment where encouragement outweighs punishment. While consequences for negative behaviour may be necessary at times, our focus remains on positive reinforcement. We actively reward achievements in education, activities, and daily responsibilities, helping young people build self-esteem and confidence. Rewards can range from small treats, like a visit to a coffee shop, to additional privileges, reinforcing responsibility, respect, and personal growth in a supportive setting.

Promoting Multilingual Skills and Inclusion

At Apple Care Group, we understand that many young people in our care speak and understand multiple languages. We celebrate and encourage linguistic diversity to create an inclusive environment where every child feels valued.

To support this, our Welcome Book and Children’s Guide are available in multiple languages, ensuring that each child feels comfortable, informed, and understood from the moment they arrive, helping them settle in with confidence and ease.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the different types of care homes?

The different types of care homes are residential homes, nursing homes, and specialist care homes, such as dementia care homes. Other types of residential care include assisted living and retirement villages. 

What is the difference between a residential care home and a nursing home?

The main difference between a residential home and a nursing home is that a nursing home has a qualified nurse on-site 24-hours a day to provide necessary medical care. This means nursing homes can provide a higher level of care. 

Can I change care homes if I am not happy?

If you or a loved one have moved into a care home but feel that you struggle to settle in, it is not the right fit or the location stops family from visiting regularly, you can change care homes. Make sure that you have read the terms of your contract to avoid any issues.

Can I get help with paying for care home fees?

Depending on your financial circumstances and your care needs, you may be able to receive help with paying your care costs. If you have capital below a certain amount, which varies between countries in the UK, your local authority will contribute towards your fees. The NHS may cover your nursing care fees in some circumstances and there are a few benefits you can claim while living in a care home.
