We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live a life filled with independence, choice and dignity. Our Supported Living services are designed to empower individuals with a range of needs to thrive within their own homes and communities, fostering greater autonomy and well-being.
What is Supported Living?
Supported Living provides personalized care and support to individuals, typically those with learning disabilities, autism, mental health conditions, physical disabilities, or complex needs, enabling them to live independently in their own homes or shared accommodations. Unlike residential care, Supported Living focuses on a person-centred approach, where individuals hold their own tenancy and receive tailored support that evolves with their changing needs and aspirations.
This promotes self-determination and community integration, moving away from institutional settings and empowering individuals to make choices about their daily lives, routines and how they wish to be supported.
Is Supported Living Right for Me or My Loved One?
Supported Living could be an ideal solution if you or your loved one:
- Desire greater independence and control over your own life.
- Want to live in your own home or with friends in a shared tenancy.
- Wish to be an active part of your community.
- Require flexible support that adapts to your unique needs and goals.
- Are looking for an alternative to residential care that prioritizes individual choice.
