The Justlife Health Engagement Team are commissioned by Arch to work with a variety of people experiencing homelessness, who have specific needs. The team play a valuable role in enabling patients to obtain and maintain suitable accommodation, and access health and community services. They provide person-centred support to improve health, build independence, and transition into a secure home.
They support people to meet their necessary health needs and reduce the likelihood of hospital readmission. This could involve:
- Accompanying people from hospital to their accommodation
- Making sure they can access their prescriptions and health appointments
- Connecting them to mental health services
- Advocating for their health needs
- Helping people understand and progress their housing options
