Public benefits

The direct benefits which flow from our purpose include the provision of accommodation and nursing care for people living in Northern Ireland who have profound learning disabilities. These benefits can be demonstrated through, feedback from users and their relatives, nursing and medical assessment of health outcomes, and independent evaluation by

regulatory bodies. In providing nursing care there is a risk associated with administering prescribed medical treatments such as medicines aimed at treating health conditions. These risks are medically assessed and are outweighed by the benefits to the service user. Those administering or working for the organisations may incidentally benefit from our purpose if their relative receives nursing care. In such cases the relative must fulfill the requirements of admission and will not receive preferential treatment.

What your organisation does

The Martin Residential Trust provides 24 hour nursing care and support to people with profound and in many cases multiple physical disabilities. We are experienced in supporting people who have conditions such as epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease, autistic spectrum disorder, Down’s syndrome, cerebral palsy, dysphasia and musculoskeletal

disorders. Within the Martin Residential Trust, we are able to provide a safe, supportive and caring environment for vulnerable people. There is always a qualified nurse on duty and we provide a high level of staffing in order that we can appropriately support people who have complex needs. We have suitable facilities to assist people who have physical disabilities, including overhead hoists and accessible transport. We also support people to take part in a full activity programme that is suited to their individual needs. Activities can range from arts and crafts, cookery, sensory activities, hydrotherapy sessions and physiotherapy and the person’s activity plan is suited to their assessed individual needs. Our wide range of facilities and our breadth of experience mean that we are able to be very responsive to changes in a person’s needs or health.
