What Is Supported Living?
Supported living means having your own tenancy, your own front door and your own choices, with support from our team to do the things you need or want to do. It is a real alternative to residential care: you decide how you live, and we support you to do it safely.
Support can range from a few hours a week to 24 hours a day, depending on your assessed needs.

Our Partnership Model
The best support is built together. You are at the centre, and we work in partnership with:
- Your family and friends, with your consent
- Your social worker or care coordinator
- Health professionals, such as nurses, therapists and psychologists
- Your landlord or housing provider
Together we create a personal support plan around your interests, priorities and skills.
