Supported Living

Supported living provides support to enable people to live as independently as possible.
 

Help with day to day living at home

You can get help with:

• Your personal care, such as washing, bathing or dressing, or
• Getting in or out of bed.
• Setting up and maintaining a home
• Managing money, paying bills, dealing with paperwork and claiming benefits
• Developing domestic and life skills such as shopping or cooking.

Supported tenancies

Supported tenancies cover a range of accommodation and adapted properties usually shared by a small group of tenants with staff, based in the home, providing support with day to day living, from a few hours a day, up to 24 hours a day.

Adult placements

Adult placements are available for people with a social care need. Placements are arranged in the homes of carers who have been recruited, trained and approved.

They provide:

• Short term care, lasting anything from one night to a few weeks
• Long term, providing the opportunity for the person receiving support to live as part of the family
• Sessional Care, time spent with an approved carer, either at their home or out in the local community.

Can I get help?

We will carry out an assessment to find out what type of care and help you need.
