Understanding your care and support options

No. Supported living involves a person's home and an agreed support arrangement, with housing and care responsibilities explained separately. A residential care home is a different model. We can discuss the arrangement relevant to your enquiry.

Yes, we welcome domiciliary-care enquiries. This means planned visits to an existing home. We also consider live-in, respite and other support enquiries, subject to assessment and availability.

Adults can contact us themselves or with a family member, advocate or representative. We also welcome professional enquiries. If you are acting for someone else, explain your relationship or role and involve the person as appropriate.

Please ask the team about current availability. An enquiry does not reserve a placement or guarantee a start date. We need to assess needs, suitability and the proposed arrangement first.

Costs depend on the type and amount of support and the agreed arrangement. Funding may involve a local authority or the person paying privately. We can discuss the service enquiry, but eligibility for public funding is decided through the relevant authority's process. No price is confirmed by this website.

No service is suitable for every circumstance. We assess the support needed, staff competence, the setting and professional responsibilities. We do not use general service descriptions to promise specialist nursing or clinical treatment.

Please contact the office first. These are private homes. A suitable visit or introduction must be arranged with the relevant people; do not arrive unannounced.

Your name, a contact route and a brief outline of the support or question are enough to begin. Do not include medical records or other confidential documents. We can agree how to share more detailed information if needed.

Yes. Tell us what would help, such as a telephone conversation, a clearer explanation or an alternative format. You can ask someone you trust to help you contact us.
