THE BENEFITS OF FLOATING SUPPORT SERVICES # This type of support can be offered to anyone who requires it irrespective of the type of accommodation they live in. # Services are flexible and can respond rapidly to crises or emmergencies # People in isolated or rural areas can be provided with support in their own homes. # Floating support adopts an holistic approach to assessing an individuals needs and acts as a focal point for accessing other services. # It helps tackle homelessness by sustaining accommodation thereby meeting wider strategic objectives such as reducing crime and anti social behaviour. # It can deliver health and social care outcomes, including prevention of hospital re admissions, support through hospital discharge, reduction of substance misuse and prevention of institutional care.
