HOW DO WE GET THERE??

• Effective Time Management
• Good Communication
• Strong Partnerships

COURT MANAGER

• Recruited up to six months prior to tenants
  moving in
• Gives us enough time to do networking,
  allocations, PR, publicity, recruitment and
  training for self and staff. Means a H21
  trained and confident manager had time to
  concentrate on the tenants! And forge
  partnerships with other organisations

• Reaching out to other older people in the
  community

Care Services that motivate and encourage

  fostering dependency and taking away control from
  older people
