Would you like access to a service which provides:

An independent advocate/ mediator to ensure you remain in control of your own life, and reduce the elements of risk through a quality checking service.
Assistance to individuals to find the right Service Provider and/or to recruit, train and retain Personal Assistants.
The thought of managing the pots of money can also be daunting. We can help you plan the best way to utilise your money, hold it in a dedicated bank account and access the Shop4Support system to maintain an accurate budget. It's an open and transparent way with the only person who can decide how and when it's spent is you.
Information, advice and signposting on anything from benefits, entitlements, housing, wills, trusts and employment law.
Writing a support plan is a vital step but is only the first step, to make it happen and keeping it sustainable coupled with managing money, service providers and staff can all too often become a burden of responsibility. Embrace can help take away that burden, so you can concentrate more on living your life and we'll make sure all the practical stuff is dealt with by people you can trust and who have your best interests at heart.
