Supporting others to achieve their best.

We provide care in residential settings and cost-effective housing-based interventions.
ICRIT aims to support people to have more control over lives.
Our objective is to work in partnership with those who use the service.
We also aim to provide the start of a journey to having a more fulfilled life.
Our commitment to quality is reflected in all our processes, from strategic planning, to service design and resourcing the operations.
Fittingly, the user is at the top of our hierarchy, all activities are directed at enabling and empowering them.
Service delivery is based on a multi -disciplinary contribution and centres on people that use the service including those that are significant to them.
Mental Health
Adults with Severe and Enduring mental Illness and Extra care Needs.
Our 24hr Supported Living for people with extra care needs aims to provide a comprehensive and individualised support package for service users with severe and enduring Mental illness.
Our interventions are based on a recovery and rehabilitation focused model, with all the clients receiving a ore package of support from a staff group which is located within the premises 24/7 and responds to needs as they arise.
Each individual has a support/ rehabilitation package which is tailored to meet their individual needs, goals and outcomes.
The main aim of the ICRIT Supported Living model is to maximise the potential of individuals with Severe and Enduring Mental illness within the community, who without the 24-hour support provided would otherwise encounter admissions and re-admissions to acute settings or may need to reside within long-stay provision such as hospital rehabilitation and nursing accommodations.
The ICRIT supported living model provides a step-down alternative for those clients who are in settings such as hospital rehabilitation and who are ready to step back into their own locality but require a level of intensive support.
We are also experienced in successfully managing clients moving from services where their placements may have broken down or where their needs are no longer being met.
