Is Independent Living with Support right for you?

• Independent Living with Support is not a nursing or care home and unfortunately it is not the right option if you need full-time care or support
• Independent Living with Support may be the right option if you need some assistance to help you live independently
• All tenants have their own flat or bungalow
• There is a scheme manager available within the schemes, Monday to Friday, to ensure the safety of the tenants who live there
• When the scheme manager is not on site, a Control Centre, which is manned 24-hours-a-day, ensures the safety of tenants
• Our community support team work 24 hours a day to provide a rapid response service if tenants need assistance
• Modern technology is used to ensure the safety of tenants eg flood detectors, carbon monoxide detectors and exit sensors
• Many independent schemes have a range of activities arranged by the tenants with the help of the warden. These may include coffee mornings, trips out and lunches
• Many schemes also have walk-in showers, car parking and gardens while some have specialist assistive bathing facilities
