Who is Supported Living for?
Supported Living is a fantastic option for adults with learning disabilities, mental ill-health, complex needs, and challenging behaviour. This type of support is designed to empower individuals to live independently. The level of assistance required will differ from person to person, which is why we assess each case uniquely. People with mild learning disabilities may need assistance with filling out forms or accessing education, whereas somebody with severe or profound and multiple learning disabilities may require support with mobility, personal care, or communication. Whatever the need, we want to help address and cater for it in discussion with the individual and their support network.
What can Supported Living offer?
If you’re considering Supported Living, we know that you or a loved one is preparing for a significant transition away from residential care or the family home. We can help choose the best option for you and can offer self-contained and studio flats as well as shared accommodation. Although the facilities may vary, all our properties are designed to enable you to live the life you want to lead. Supported Living champions your independence, putting you in the driving seat when it comes to selecting the care you want. This could be regular daily care (such as personal care or assistance with eating/drinking), or a few hours of support per week (for things like appointment assistance or social activities). Being a tenant in Supported Living accommodation gives you control over how your home is run and input on decisions which affect your property.
