Living With Support

Encouraging independence with tailored daily assistance.

Supported Living

Sense Supported Living is for people who need some help with day-to-day life, but want to have their own home.

In this accommodation service, you’re the tenant. You can choose whether you live with others or by yourself, and decide how much care you need. You might want a support worker to stay with you all day, or you might only want them to help you with specific tasks.

With Sense Supported Living, you’ll have your own home to be proud of whilst also getting the care that you need.

What is Supported Living?

Supported Living is for people who don’t want to live in full time Sense Residential Care, but need some extra support.

In Sense Supported Living accommodation, you might share with other like-minded housemates, or have your own place. You’ll be a tenant, with responsibilities for things like paying the bills. But you’ll have as much help as you need from our support workers.

FAQs

What’s the difference between Supported Living and Residential Care?

Residential Care homes are group homes, where you’ll get 24-hour care. Supported Living is better suited for people who want to live a bit more independently. You’ll be a tenant of your house or flat, with responsibilities. But you’ll still get support from care staff.
