Specialist Resource Solutions: home care in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire

Specialist Resource Solutions (SRS) is a social care organisation operating in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. Its work focuses on helping people live safely, independently and with dignity, both in their own homes and in their community. The organisation was established in 2015 and, according to its own presentation, has built a team that shares the same vision of what home care should be.

The company supports older people and adults with learning disabilities, autism, mental health needs, forensic needs and complex care needs. Its model combines face-to-face support with technological tools and remote support options.

At-home and community support services

SRS organises its offer into several lines of support that can be tailored to each person:

• At-home care: a team of carers helps with everyday tasks such as personal care, social support and meal preparation, with the aim of maintaining independence and quality of life.
• Community support: carers accompany clients to activities outside the home, such as attending a social group, going shopping, to the cinema or having a coffee with friends.
• Independent living: the goal is for people with chronic illnesses, disabilities or age-related challenges to stay in control of their decisions and take part in their daily activities with as little dependence on others as possible.
• Housing support: includes help with managing benefits, filling in forms, managing household budgets, keeping the home safe, furnishing the home, doing housework and shopping.

Technology applied to care

The organisation states a commitment to incorporating technology to expand its clients' autonomy. Among the options it offers is a free in-home technology assessment service, according to the website, to identify solutions for movement monitoring, fall detection, medication reminders and alerts, among others. It also offers remote support by telephone or video call for welfare checks or companionship, which can work as a standalone service or complement face-to-face care.

Profile of the people supported

The company defines its scope of action across several groups: older people, people with autism, people with mental health needs, people with forensic needs, people with learning disabilities and people with complex care needs. This specialisation is reflected in the possibility of combining face-to-face and remote support according to each case.

Team and track record

According to published information, the SRS team has developed over ten years and is made up of planners, carers, managers and communications professionals. The organisation presents itself as a modern and ambitious company looking to recruit staff, and it keeps applications open through its website.
