Types of Support

Housing Support Service

Our Housing Support Service is accommodation with support services for adults with learning disabilities and associated challenging behaviours. This can be provided on a long-term tenancy where you are likely to need support of a high level on an ongoing basis to enable you to live in a community setting and maintain your tenancy; or on a shorter-term tenancy basis for up to a two year period. A short-term tenancy is available should you require a period of assistance to set up your own tenancy and be supported to develop skills and confidence to enable you to ‘move on’ to more independent living (e.g. lower level supported housing or mainstream housing).

Respite Care Service

Our Respite care provides planned short-term and time-limited breaks for families and other unpaid care givers of adults with a Learning disability in order to support and maintain the primary care giving relationship.

Care at Home Service

Is support provided on an outreach basis to individuals who need support to access activities or services in their community.
