Supported Living
Independence with the Right Level of Support
At Person Centred Living, we believe that everyone should have the chance to enjoy a life of independence, choice, and inclusion—regardless of the challenges they may face. Our supported living services are specially designed for adults with learning disabilities and autism who want their own home, but need some extra help to thrive. We offer safe, comfortable accommodation paired with bespoke, person-centred support, so each person can live life on their own terms.
What is Supported Living?
Supported living is a flexible model that allows adults to live in their own flat, house, or shared accommodation, with just the right level of help to stay safe, happy, and healthy. Unlike residential care, supported living gives people:
- Control over where and how they live
- The opportunity to choose who they live with (or to live alone)
- Freedom to develop daily routines, skills, and interests
- Support that adapts to their changing needs
We work closely with each person, their family, and their wider support network to develop a personalised plan that puts them firmly in control of their own home and life.
Who Can Benefit?
Supported living is ideal for:
- Adults with mild, moderate, or complex learning disabilities
- Adults on the autism spectrum, including those with sensory or communication needs
- Individuals looking to move out of the family home, or transition from residential care or hospital settings
- People who want to increase their independence, but need some ongoing support
- Families looking for peace of mind that their loved one is safe and well-supported
Whether someone wants to live alone, with friends, or in a small group, we can help make it happen.
Our Approach: Empowering, Respectful, and Person-Centred

- Explore housing options and locations that match personal preferences
- Co-design a flexible support plan, with input from families, advocates, and professionals
- Help individuals settle into their new home, building confidence and life skills along the way
- Review support regularly, adapting as goals and needs change

We focus on building lasting relationships, so clients see familiar faces who truly understand their routines, likes, and ambitions.
