Supported Living

Supported Living

Supported living is different to domiciliary care as the individual will move to a new home so that help is readily available. Supported living refers to the co-ordinated combination of both this new home and a care team that typically provide mental health support, personal care or companionship. The accommodation is usually a shared house or a flat in a shared living complex. The care is provided under a separate contractual arrangement to those for the person’s housing.

Supported living differs from warden assisted living for a few reasons, mainly that the on-site presence is trained and employed to proactively provide hands on care and support.
