Settling in
Help with the tenancy itself: keys, utilities, benefits, furnishing the place, registering with a GP, and making a flat feel like somewhere you actually want to be.
What we offer
Supported living is not a placement you are sent to. It is your own home, with the amount of support you need to keep it. There is also a plan for needing less of it over time.
How the support works
Everyone we support holds their own tenancy. Support hours are agreed with the person and their funding team, and can range from a few visits a week to intensive daily support at the point of discharge. Those hours are reviewed openly, and they are meant to change.
We work in a trauma-informed way. That means we assume difficult behaviour is communication, we do not use shame or ultimatums, and we are careful about consistency. People see the same faces and hear the same promises kept.
Areas we support with
Day-to-day living
Cooking, shopping, budgeting, laundry, appointments. We do things alongside people, gradually stepping back rather than doing it for them.
Staying well
Support with medication routines, sleep, and early warning signs, alongside the person's own care plan and their community mental health team.
Difficult days
A written, agreed plan for what happens when things get harder. That means who is called, what helps, and what definitely does not help.
Work, study and connection
Volunteering, courses, employment, faith, family, hobbies. Recovery is measured in a life outside the flat, not just a stable one inside it.
Moving on
As confidence grows, support hours reduce by agreement, ending with a planned move to fully independent living where that is the person's goal.
Who this is for
- Adults aged 18 to 65 with mental health needs, including psychosis, bipolar disorder and dual diagnosis.
- People being discharged from hospital who need a stable, supported home to move into.
- People in a placement that is more restrictive than they now need.
Where we are not the right fit
We do not provide hospital or nursing care, children's services, or care for older people with age-related needs. If someone needs that level of clinical care, we will say so early rather than accept a referral we cannot do well.
