Supported Living
Supported Living is a way of helping adults with additional needs to live as independently as possible in their own homes with flexible and personalised support. Unlike residential care, supported living offers people the rights and responsibilities of having their own tenancy, while still receiving the help they need to manage daily life, develop new skills, and work towards personal goals.
We encourage commissioners, families, and professionals to explore our CQC reports to see how we continuously strive for excellence. Click here.
Support is tailored to each individual, ranging from a few hours a week to 24-hours support, and is shaped around what matters to them. This can include help with managing a household, accessing the community, maintaining relationships, or building independence in all areas of life.
Who Are Supported Living Services For?
We provide support for individuals with a range of needs, from people with autism, learning disabilities, trauma and mental health, complex needs and more.
All services are built around each person’s unique needs, strengths, and aspirations. The goal is not just to offer support, but to create a foundation for people to live fulfilling, connected, and self-directed lives.

Our referral process is simple, supportive, and tailored to each individual’s needs.
Since Prudent Supported Living living took on our complex young individual, it has been great. Professionals have felt reassured due to the high standard of support provided to our complex client, as well as the continuous communication, reporting, feedback, and importantly the therapeutic element of the care that’s being provided.
This has allowed the individual to get to a place where she hasn’t been able to before, engaging with professionals and being able to reflect on traumas and behaviours. I can only thank Prudent Supported Living for this.
