Your Move to Specialised Supported Living
Smooth & Supported Transition
Making the move to Supported Living—whether leaving the family home or seeking greater independence—is a big step. We provide friendly encouragement and emotional support to ensure the transition is smooth, positive, and rewarding for both the individual and their family.
Finding the Right Supported Living Accommodation
We work closely with housing associations, private landlords, and local agencies to offer community-based Supported Living accommodation in flat schemes or shared properties. You will hold your own tenancy and maintain responsibility over household responsibilities.
We meticulously match you to the right home, considering:
Location and Accommodation: Ensuring the space meets your current needs and future goals for independent living.
Routines and Compatibility: Essential for those with Autism or Learning Disabilities, we ensure consistency. In shared houses, we match housemates based on similar lifestyles and interests for a rewarding environment.
Community Access: All homes are set in the heart of communities with easy access to amenities and transport links.
Our Expert Team & Person-Centred Support
All of our person-centred support is designed around the individual's needs and wishes by our dedicated, specialist teams.
Expert Care
Our staff receive specialist training to provide consistent, high-quality person-centred support that promotes well-being and independence.
Collaborative Working
We work closely with health and social care professionals, involving the people we support and their families to continuously shape our services.
The Home
Supported housing offers the freedom and independence of your own space with the reassurance of support when needed.
