The HART service aims to provide services which are centred on the service user, focusing on the outcomes important to the individual and ensuring that they are able to exercise choice in all aspects of daily living. Support is specifically tailored to meet the needs of the individual, focussing on each individual's strengths and abilities, with a strong philosophy of people setting their own goals. Approximately 250 service users receive HART services at any one time. Care staff encourage and support individuals to do as much as they can for themselves - doing tasks with people rather than for them. Recipients of this service have been shown to be ultimately less reliant on more formal and traditional types of support services than those who have not received it.
