What is supported living?

A home of your own, with support on hand.

Our supported living services are designed for adults who want the security of their own home alongside flexible support tailored to their needs. We focus on building independence, confidence and daily living skills, while making sure people feel safe, respected and listened to.

Support is carefully planned with each person, their family and professionals. This can include help with personal care, budgeting, medication, cooking, accessing the community and much more – always at a pace that feels right.
