What is Supported Living?
Supported living is a service that allows people living with autism, learning disabilities, physical support needs or other complex care needs to live as independently as possible in their own homes, alone or with other people with the reassurance that extra physical and emotional support is always available.
Unlike residential care homes, supported living provides the people who live there with individual tenancies. This allows people to have a home of their own while enjoying greater independence and control over their own environment.
The house itself is often provided through a specialist landlord while the individual support is offered by a care provider like Liaise.
What is Moving Into Supported Living Like?
People in supported living may choose to live on their own, with a roommate or move into a shared home where communal spaces are shared and everyone contributes to the bills and upkeep of the home.
Each Liaise supported living accommodation is unique and has its own distinct personality. These homes often feature adaptations and specialist equipment designed to meet a range of complex care needs. The support received is flexible and always adapted to the unique needs of each individual. We provide dedicated 24/7 support in all of our supporting living accommodations.
Some of the people we support want to learn new independent living skills, build meaningful relationships or take the first step towards employment or volunteer opportunities. Whatever their personal goals and ambitions may be, our dedicated staff is there to provide friendly encouragement and support on their journey to greater independence.
What is important to note is that the support received through supported living is of the same standard and quality as that of any residential care home. The quality of the support does not change – only the venue where it is received.
