Supported living refers to schemes that provide personal care to people as part of the support that they need to live in their own homes. The personal care is provided under a separate contractual arrangement to those for the person’s housing. The accommodation is often shared, usually as a small group, but can be single household.
Supported living enables adults with support needs to live in their own home with the help they need to be independent.
A move into supported living can be the first time someone has left their family home or taken a step towards greater independence, and so we’re here to provide friendly encouragement and emotional support to make the transition as smooth, positive, and rewarding as possible.
When you choose supported living, you’re choosing to live independently, safe and secure behind your own front door. There’s peace of mind in knowing that the Alters team is on-hand, providing tailored support that helps people to lead more fulfilling lives, surrounded by like-minded people. We also provide support to families to ensure that the transition is not only smooth for the individual but also their families.
Supported living is designed to help people live happy lives filled with ambition. Whether it’s learning a new life skill such as cooking or money management, having the confidence to take up a new hobby or make new friends, or taking the first step into volunteering or employment, we’re here to support and encourage each goal, however big or small.
We know that it’s really important to have the right support network beside you, so we make sure to carefully match our support team with each person, considering our team’s skills, knowledge and specialism, along with personality traits, hobbies and interests to make sure that we nurture friendly and rewarding relationships.
Our support plans are only created once we’ve really got to know each person and built a clear understanding of their history, their current situation and their future goals. We have in-depth conversations with the person, their family and any relevant care professionals to make sure that we have all the necessary information and have taken the time to hear each person’s views and wishes before we provide our care. Once a supported living support plan is in place, we regularly review progress, recognise and celebrate every achievement and continue to encourage each person to set new goals to achieve even more.
Through our Supported Living services, we support adults of all ages with a wide range of needs, including learning disabilities, physical disabilities, complex needs (including dual diagnosis), mental health conditions, sensory and communication needs and autistic spectrum conditions.
We aim to deliver a service that gives people real choice and control over how they live their lives, fostering independence and support to achieve personal goals and aspirations.
Our services are tailored to meet the unique needs of every person we support. We can offer care service support in several types of supported living arrangements, including:
We can provide as much or as little support as needed, from 24-hour support to just a few hours of flexible support in the community.
We deliver tailor-made, person-centred supported living pathways that equip individuals and families with the resources they need to live the lives they desire to live.
