Historically Adult Placement Services have always been person centred, for example:
A young woman was referred to ASA eight months ago with complex needs. There was a limited level of independence outside the home. In the past six months with the support of her providers and ASA Day Time support she is now accessing a college placement independently and travelling to and from college alone on public transport. As a result of this she is no longer socially isolated and has joined ASA's Client Recruitment Group and represented ASA at the Skills for Care Conference in Leicester.
Excerpt from the Commission For Social Care Inspection report November 2006
An example of how ASA providers seek to meet the needs of an individual is found below:
A gentleman who is visually impaired and unable to navigate his way around the providers home has been encouraged to further his independence. The providers have skillfully made a tactile and sensory trail around the home to allow him unsupported access. This has made a great impact on him socially and he is less reliant on the providers.

"What the Service Does Well".
“The scheme is very well managed and organised. Their staff are well trained, and they provide excellent support to carers. Every carer spoken to, or who returned a questionnaire praised the excellent support that they receive from the staff of Adults Supporting Adults(ASA). One carer said, “Sorry – cannot think of any way to improve the scheme. I’ve never had any reason to complain. Everyone has always been most caring and efficient (particularly my support worker)”. Another carers commented, “Gives you all the support that you need, - always there for you”. Carers receive good training to help them carry out their role. The way that carers are chosen, and matched to clients is very thorough. Carers are given detailed information about the clients they will be caring for, and they are introduced to each other slowly, to make sure that the placement is right. Placements are reviewed regularly to make sure that there are no problems. Clients live as part of the family, and enjoy a good range of activities and social interests. One client said, “I love living with my family”. A member of staff commented, “ASA Lincs has come a long way since I started. I think we should be proud of our progress so far, and continue to acknowledge that there is much more to be done”.
