Our Services
.We Care and Support is designed to enable individuals with a disability to live independently, offering appropriate support to help them manage their own tenancy and achieve greater freedom and control in their lives. We aim to improve the quality of life of people we support.
Supported living refers to schemes that provide personal care to people as part of the support that they need to live in independently. The personal care is provided under a separate contractual arrangement to those for the person’s housing. The accommodation is often shared, usually as a small group, but can be single household.
Supported living enables adults with support to have their tenancy with the help they need to be independent and benefit from a greater level of autonomy as far as their environment is concerned. It allows them to choose:
- where they want to live
- who with
- how they want to be supported
- what happens in their own home.
Our staff are fully trained and take a person-centred approach to planning and delivering each individual’s support.
This means that, when we work with a person and their family, we listen to what they want and what matters to them, so they are always at the very heart of conversations and decisions about their support, and how it is planned and provided.
Together, we create a unique and tailored ‘personal support plan’ for each individual, that outlines the type of support they receive, how much and how often.

We prioritise their experiences, aiming to rebuild trust and offer personalised support packages, including behaviour plans and goals.
Our aim is to enhance independence and quality of life by empowering those in our care. Through person-centred planning and the PBS Framework, we engage with individuals, valuing their preferences and introducing new experiences. Our thorough assessments help create personalised skill-building plans, promoting social independence gradually.

Using evidence-based assessments, we identify areas needing attention and monitor progress through data-led decision-making.

Areas of focus include communication, self-care, support with medications, meal preparation, social skills, budgeting, and exploring new hobbies.
