Being comfortable and independent in your own home is important, but complex care needs can make home life feel difficult at times.
In the UK, more than 850,000 people received long-term care during the year 2023/24. Supported living is designed to make your life at home easier by providing expert assistance from professionals, restoring your independence and ensuring you feel safe.
No matter what your individual care needs are, our supported living helps make the day-to-day smooth, simple, and stress-free. You don’t need to struggle in silence, as our team is here for you.
What is Supported Living?
For those with complex medical needs, age-related challenges, or disabilities, life at home can be difficult – that’s where supported living comes in.
Supported living is designed to help people with complex mental health needs, learning disabilities, challenging behaviour, or brain injury settle into their community. Completely flexible and tailored to you, you can get care for a few hours a week, up to 24-hour or live-in support.
With supported living, you don’t need to worry about settling into a residential home, as the care comes to you. You’ll be assigned a team that works in shifts to take care of personal hygiene, medication, meal preparation, and general cleanliness, all within the comfort of your own home.
Generally, you can access supported living providers through your local authorities, such as the council or the NHS. We can advise you on the best way to receive this support.

Frequently Asked Questions
Knowing when it’s time to seek help for a loved one is tricky, especially when they’re worried about losing their independence.
The first thing to note is that supported living doesn’t mean giving up your independence. In fact, the purpose of supported living is to help those with unique medical needs live independently and comfortably.
If you’ve noticed your loved one struggling with daily activities like eating, washing themselves, and getting dressed, or they’re getting confused and struggling with memory, it may be time to consider home care.
The cost of supported living will depend on the level of assistance needed throughout the day and night.
The best way to get an accurate estimate for the cost of your own care or that of a loved one is to arrange an assessment with our team. We’ll visit you in your own space to discuss what you need from us. From there, we can provide a full and accurate cost estimate for what you need.
To arrange an initial assessment with us, give us a call on 0151 920 5797 for Liverpool services or 01704 231 231 if Southport is closer to you. You can also use our online form, and we’ll get in touch with you.
While supported living and home care offer similar levels of support, they are different services. Knowing exactly how they differ can help you settle on the best service for you.
One of the main differences between the two is the provider of the care. Home care is usually privately funded by the individual or their family, while supported living often falls under local authority care, meaning there’s funding available to cover costs.
Supported living is typically delivered in a residential home, while home care is more commonly for those living in their own private property. Supported living carers often work with existing Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) plans, ensuring individuals with challenging behaviours receive bespoke care to keep them safe
To put it simply, supported living is designed to offer comprehensive, continuous support to those with complex medical needs, learning disabilities, and mental health conditions. It focuses on supporting the individual to live a life free of restrictions.
If you’re unsure which is best for you, a member of our team is always available to talk it through with you. Give us a call, and we’re happy to explain them both in more detail.
