Supported Living in Reading

What is supported living?

Supported living care is a care service that enables you to live independently while receiving support tailored to your needs. Rather than living in a residential care setting, you have your own home or supported accommodation and receive assistance with the areas of life where you need extra help.

The difference between supported living and residential care in Reading

Residential care involves living in a care home where support is available around the clock within a shared environment. Supported living allows you to have your own tenancy and make decisions about how you live. This gives you greater independence while still providing access to professional support when needed.

Who is supported living suitable for?

Supported living is suitable for adults who need support to manage daily life but want to remain as independent as possible. This may include people with learning disabilities, autism, physical disabilities, mental health conditions, or acquired brain injuries.
