Supported living

Our accommodation based support services support vulnerable people to take up tenancies in individual flats within a dedicated scheme or within shared houses. The benefit of this over isolated properties is that 24 hour on-site support is achievable as the cost of this intensive support is shared between a number of people and it also offers the opportunity for tenants to develop confidence and skills within the supportive environment of a peer group.

What supported living is:

An individualised step down option for people moving on from a registered setting
An opportunity for people to hold their own tenancy
An opportunity to build relationships /coping skills with co-tenants
An opportunity to develop confidence and self esteem within a supportive environment
To have an individualised package of support rather than 24hr registered care
The ability to change provider without having to move house
The flexibility for support to increase /decrease in line with need
Registered domiciliary care for incidental personal care needs

What it is not:

Registered care
A fixed service with a rigid staffing structure
