Supported living: shared housing or your own space

Supported Living can be a good choice if you want to live more independently but still need help all day and night.

There are two types of Supported Living:

Shared Houses

• You live with 3 or 4 other people.
• You have your own bedroom.
• You share spaces like the kitchen and living room.
• You also share support with the other people.

Single Homes

• You live in your own flat or bungalow.
• These homes are often close together.
• Support staff are nearby and can help when needed.

We will ask you:

• What is important to you about where you live
• For example, do you need to be near:
  • shops or supermarkets
  • your job or day centre
  • buses or trains

We will try to match you with people who have similar needs and interests.
