Support and encouragement to live a fuller life
Independent supported living is designed for individuals who would benefit from having extra physical and/or emotional support to live their best life
What is independent supported living?
Supported independent living is a service designed to boost quality of life.
Our independent supported living service is for people who do not want to live in residential care but can have difficulties coping at home. There are many reasons why you or your loved one might need additional support, and Safehands are able to adapt their approach to suit the individual. People in supported living have their own tenancy and are responsible for their own bills and living costs. We are there to offer help and guidance so that you can get the most out of your days and live a happy life on your own terms.
This extra support helps build confidence on the journey to living a more independent life and the ability to make your own choices.

What to expect from Supported Living
We find the set-up that allows individuals to thrive
We know how important it is to feel safe and happy at home, so our team will spend quality time getting to know your loved ones and finding the right setting for them.
We’ll discuss where they would like to live, and whether they want to be in their own flat or have a room in a house with a small number of other adults who have similar needs. We ensure any access requirements are considered and assistive technologies provided, as well as making sure it’s close to shops, facilities and public transport links. We will constantly review the accommodation to ensure it still suits your loved ones needs and whether their requirements are evolving.
