| Annotation | For many professionals within the sheltered housing sector, this is a time of real change and opportunity. The authors explain the benefits to be reaped for residents and staff by connecting health, housing and social care professionals through the Single Assessment Process (SAP). This article outlines how SAP works in practice within the sheltered housing service and where it sits with the assessments and support plans already undertaken. It concludes that sheltered housing providers will have to adapt their working practises to incorporate needs assessments and support plans, as required by Supporting People. To do so will help both residents to be at the centre of the process and establish the role of staff within the whole system of care management. (KJ/RH). |
