What We Do

Personalised Support to Empower Independent Living

We provide tailored support that helps every individual live as independently as possible in a safe, respectful, and nurturing environment. Our supported living service is designed for adults with enduring mental health needs or mild learning difficulties who want to build confidence, learn new skills, and achieve lasting independence in the community.

Supported Living

Our supported living homes offer more than just accommodation, they offer opportunity. Each home is a welcoming, comfortable, and inclusive space where service users can feel part of a community while receiving the right level of support to meet their personal goals.

  • 24-hour on-site staff support where required
  • Assistance with daily living and household tasks
  • Support with budgeting, bills, and financial management
  • Help with accessing education, training, and employment opportunities
  • Guidance to develop practical life skills and confidence
  • Emotional and mental health support in partnership with professionals
  • Support with community integration and social activities

Our approach is person-centred, giving every individual choice, control, and a sense of ownership over their life and home.

Personal Care and Daily Living Support

We understand that everyone’s needs are different. Our team provides flexible, respectful assistance with daily living tasks while encouraging independence at every stage.
This includes:

  • Personal hygiene and self-care
  • Meal preparation and healthy eating guidance

Our team offers practical and emotional support that promotes recovery and wellbeing, including:

  • Developing coping skills and daily routines
  • Encouraging participation in wellbeing and mindfulness activities
  • Supporting therapy and treatment plans
  • Building resilience, social confidence, and self-esteem

We work collaboratively with mental health professionals, families, and community services to ensure holistic, person-centred care.

We create an environment where every individual feels safe, supported, and valued. Our team promotes physical and emotional wellbeing through:

  • Regular health check-ins and support with appointments
  • Guidance on healthy lifestyles and exercise
  • Safe medication handling and monitoring
  • 24-hour support and emergency response (where needed)
  • Ongoing safeguarding and risk assessments

Safety and wellbeing are at the heart of everything we do.

Family, Community & Partnership

Stronger Together

We believe that lasting wellbeing comes from strong connections, with family, friends, professionals, and the wider community. We encourage every service user to maintain and nurture these important relationships as part of their journey toward independence.

Staying Connected Matters

Our team actively supports regular contact with loved ones through visits, phone calls, and digital communication. These moments of connection help promote emotional stability, a sense of belonging, and continued social engagement.

Collaboration & Confidence

We work closely with families to ensure open, honest communication and shared decision-making. Where appropriate, family members are involved in care planning and progress reviews, helping create consistent support around each individual.

Partnership for Progress

Collaboration is at the heart of how we work. We partner with local authorities, mental health professionals, GPs, and other agencies to deliver coordinated, high-quality care that promotes wellbeing, safety, and positive outcomes for everyone we support.
