Supported Living Services in Leicestershire

Supported Living

Supportive living empowers individuals to maintain their independence while receiving the necessary physical and emotional support to lead fulfilling lives in their own homes. Typically, individuals in supportive housing have their own tenancy in designated housing provided by a specialised organisation, maintaining autonomy over their bills, household chores, and other responsibilities associated with independent living. Support is personalised to enhance independence and help individuals achieve their specific goals and needs.

Care At Home’s supported living services cater to adults across Leicestershire with various conditions such as learning disabilities, autism, physical disabilities, acquired brain injuries, or mental health needs. Through our supported living programs, individuals with complex conditions can reside in their community homes, receiving tailored support to enhance or maintain their independence. Our dedicated teams craft support plans based on each individual’s unique needs and preferences, delivering high-quality service with confidence and expertise.

Choosing supported living offers the freedom and independence of having a personal space to call home, with the reassurance of available support if needed. Living among a diverse community allows for active participation and engagement within the local neighbourhood.

Our person-centred care planning

Our support plans are customised following a comprehensive assessment and understanding of each individual’s background, current situation, and future aspirations. Collaborating with the individual, their family, and relevant care professionals, we gather essential information and perspectives to tailor our care accordingly. Regular reviews of the support plans track progress, celebrate achievements, and inspire individuals to set new goals for ongoing growth and development.

Independence for individuals

Transitioning into supported living can signify a significant step towards independence for individuals leaving their family homes. Our friendly and supportive approach aims to facilitate a positive and rewarding transition. With Care At Home individuals can embrace independent living behind their own front door, supported by our team to lead more fulfilling lives. We also extend support to families to ensure a seamless transition for both the individual and their loved ones.

When choosing supported living accommodation, several key factors are important to consider

Specialised Design:Look for housing options that are specially designed to complement the support services offered, promoting more independent living. Collaborating with property developers to create homes that cater to specific needs can enhance the overall living experience.
Comfort and Safety: Feeling comfortable, happy, and safe in your home is essential for overall well-being and development. It is crucial to select accommodation that provides a secure and welcoming environment.
Affordable Housing: Partnering with housing associations to identify suitable and affordable living spaces is vital. Ensuring individuals have access to secure and stable tenancy agreements is crucial for providing a sense of security in their own homes.
Assistive Technology: Consider accommodation that is fitted with assistive technology to support individuals in their daily lives and enhance independence.
Routine and Consistency: For individuals living with autism or learning difficulties, maintaining routines and consistency is key. Ensuring that daily routines can be followed and are compatible with others in shared housing can contribute to a sense of stability and comfort.
Individualised Approach: Take the time to understand each person’s preferences, requirements, and future goals to determine the most suitable location, accommodation, and adaptations. Personalising the living arrangements can significantly impact the individual’s quality of life.
Compatibility with Housemates: It is important to be surrounded by people with whom you enjoy spending time. When individuals express interest in living with others, efforts should be made to find suitable housemates with similar lifestyles and interests to foster a supportive and harmonious living environment.
Community Integration: Select accommodation that is situated in the heart of communities, offering easy access to local amenities, attractions, and transportation links. Being part of a vibrant community can enhance social connections and overall well-being.
