The project addresses autonomy and quality of life for people with severe physical and psychological impairments and other significant challenges who receive highly specialised social services. These services include 24-hour-service institutions, secured facilities for youths, day-activity facilities, special education services, and consultancy services.
Through a collaborative process, the people in our care have expressed what is most important to them. That is self-reliance, autonomous decision-making, the feeling of safety, a content-rich life, communication, and significant relationships. Taking the perspective of the persons rather than the systems is important when planning and executing highly specialised social services. Based on the valuable insights from the experts - the individuals themselves - a person-centred and value-based approach has been designed to increase autonomy and quality of life for the citizens in our care.
