A key to the front door isn’t just a sign of independence, but also represents a connection with a local community which can be the key to a meaningful and active life.
Our person-centred approach enables people to build skills, increase independence and feel happy and healthy.

Individual solutions for individual needs
To achieve independent living could require a few hours of support a week in a rented flat, 24/7 support in an owned home, or a shared home with friends and the individual support needed. All these are possibilities. We can even connect with housing providers who work with us to find the ideal home. Our people will help at every stage, supporting with creating a full life – socialising with new friends, building a relationship, studying, or getting a job. With our support, everyone can live as independently as they wish.
