Supported living in Southampton

What is supported living?

Sometimes, having a little extra support at home can make everyday life feel much easier. Our supported living care is designed around your individual needs, from help with household routines and personal care to more complex requirements supported by our nursing team.

The difference between supported living and residential care in Southampton

Choosing care doesn’t necessarily mean leaving the home and community you know. In Southampton, Helping Hands can provide personalised support in your own home, giving you the flexibility to choose the level of care that works for you. Whether you need occasional visits or ongoing live-in support, we’re here to help you maintain your independence and enjoy life on your terms.

Who is supported living suitable for?

Supported living is suitable for adults who may need additional assistance to manage everyday life while continuing to live as independently as possible. Our care can support people with a range of needs, including learning disabilities, autism, physical disabilities and mental health needs.
