Moving on from Myriad Care

Time to move on

The length of time you can stay at your service depends on your support needs and the type of service it is. Some of our services are short-term and only provide support for a number of weeks or months. Others will be much longer term, especially for those with high or a number of needs.

In most of our services, people will receive support for up to two years. This is not set in stone and many people will move on quicker.

Ready to live independently

Through your support sessions, your Support Worker will be spending time encouraging you to think about move on and what you will need to do to get there. They will make sure you are developing the skills and confidence to live more independently and putting you in touch with other organisations that can help you in the long-term.

Usually, as your needs go down, your skills and confidence increase, and you get closer to your goals your support will start to reduce. This means you may meet with your Support Worker less often or you may spend less time with them when you do. Reducing the time you spend with your Support Worker helps to prepare you for move on as you become more independent.

Finding a new place to live

If you are moving from one of our services to living on your own, this may also mean finding a new place to live.

The majority of people moving into their own accommodation will move into housing in the Private Rented Sector (PRS). Most people we work with are not eligible for social (council) housing. However, there may be some exceptions, based on your age, needs and particular circumstances. You can talk about this with your Support Worker who can let you know how you can find out more information.
