TESTIMONIALS
_________
“We have worked alongside Amethyst for a few years now providing supported housing where they provide the support element. Amethyst have worked with the housing officers to ensure the tenants are aware of their responsibilities and work with the housing team with MDT and tenant meetings. When new services have opened, I have seen senior management supporting the tenants and training the staff team which is really great to see. All very approachable”

Sarah Rae, a tenant of Austhorpe Road – one of Amethyst CSG's supported living homes – has demonstrated immense resilience and strength throughout her life. Growing up in Leeds and facing significant challenges early on, Sarah has persevered and continues to make strides in building a brighter future. Since joining our community, Sarah has flourished in her flat and cultivated positive relationships with both tenants and staff. Her dedication to personal growth has led her to engage in meaningful work with the local church, fostering a strong connection with the community. Although Sarah has faced recent setbacks in her mental health, causing her to temporarily withdraw, her unwavering spirit prevails. She has taken on a new challenge by attending Slimming World classes, held at the same church where she works, to focus on her health and well-being. We are proud of Sarah's determination and are honored to support her on her journey towards an independent and fulfilling life.

Amethyst provides the care and support to tenants within four BSR properties. As the housing provider, we have limited experience with regards to the delivery of care and support that is provided to tenants in line with their assessed care needs. We can however comment on the professional working relationship with Amethyst and say that we have always found them to be open, transparent and willing to work collaboratively with us to resolve any situations that arise. Recent case studies shared with BSR have identified positive outcomes for tenants where support has resulted in increased independence and even one tenant publishing his own book! The case studies also demonstrated as cost-savings for local authority and NHS commissioning teams in comparison to alternative placements within more acute services.”

“ Our experience of working with Amethyst has been very positive, whether this has been working with Support Workers in our properties, to dealing with company’s Directors. They are pleasant, yet professional company to work with, they communicate well at all levels. The support staff who work in our properties are well organized and efficient, knowledgeable and build strong relationships with our Tenants. Amethyst has a strong sense of purpose with clear aims and values that puts the vulnerable Tenants first, and are caring, honest , open and transparent in their dealing with us. Overall, the company has good knowledge of Supported housing and the part they play in supporting Tenant, but also good knowledge of where the landlord fits in, and other agencies, an are open to working together to achieve win-win solutions”

“I am not a service user – I am a professional working alongside Amethyst providing care to someone, so my experience of their services is limited. I have been really impressed by how Amethyst have responded to a very difficult clinical scenario. Their involvement has been consistent and beyond what I would have expected. Staff are compassionate and their experiences of the service user are informing the system of multi agencies around her. We are all learning from and supporting each other and Amethyst are a key part of this. I have been really impressed by how bravely they challenge the thinking in the system as well – they are committed to excellent care for this woman, and they are not afraid to call out some of the biases and blind spots others may have.
My experience of Amethyst has been of a dedicated, thoughtful, and compassionate team who absolutely go the extra mile.”
