What is supported living?
Supported living is a service designed to help people with various needs maintain their independence by receiving support in their own homes. Individuals have their own tenancy agreements and pay bills and living expenses. The provision of support does not depend on the provision of housing (and vice versa), so if a support provider changes, it may not affect the tenancy.
How do we support people?
Our support model combines active support with positive behaviour approaches and structured engagement with professionals from the local community. With a focus on the individual, our highly trained support staff regularly review outcomes with the client, behaviour support and multi-disciplinary professionals.

Please contact us separately about forensic specialist services.
Learning disabilities
A learning disability is a minimised intellectual capacity and difficulties with day-to-day activities, such as taking care of the home, interacting with others, or managing money that impacts a person for the rest of their life.
Autism
Autism is a spectrum condition that has varying effects on individuals. People with autism have unique talents and shortcomings, just like everyone else. Everyone’s experience with autism is unique.
Physical disabilities
Physical disabilities can impact someone’s mobility, endurance, and dexterity. Each person with a physical disability may experience a varied set of symptoms because each is distinct and affects everyone differently.
Mental health
We all have physical and mental health, just like everyone else. Our mental well-being significantly impacts how our daily lives feel and our capacity to accomplish what we need and want to do.
Neurodiversity
Neurodiversity includes conditions such as ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, Tourette’s, and others — neurodevelopmental conditions resulting from a person’s brain developing differently at crucial developmental phases.
Acquired brain injury
An acquired brain injury (ABI) is a non-degenerative lesion to the brain that developed since birth or through trauma. The repercussions of an acquired brain injury can vary greatly.
Complex care
We support people with complex and multiple needs through individualised, multi-disciplinary care plans — combining specialist input, positive behaviour support and consistent, highly trained staff teams.
Community outreach
Our outreach and community services are designed to support people in their own homes, providing assistance to meet their needs and preferences. This includes supporting them in day-to-day life, such as managing cash, staying healthy, cooking, being part of the community, or progressing to education.
Respite care
Short-term and respite support that gives families and carers a break, while ensuring the person we support continues to receive consistent, person-centred care.
Specialist services
Tailored specialist support for people with more specific or complex needs, designed around the individual in partnership with commissioners and clinical teams.
Activities and Work Experience
At Transforming Support, we believe in working with people to create meaningful and fulfilling experiences that allow them to plan their daily living and future independence. This may include education, employment and/or volunteering.
Employment
We work with the Job Centre, local employers, and other organisations to find suitable opportunities in conjunction with the individual to give them an additional sense of independence and wellbeing.
Education
We believe in people’s potential and enabling aspiration. Where there is an interest to pursue education, this will be supported by referral and educational partners to achieve development goals the people we support may have.
Activities
Our teams work closely with the people we support, developing meaningful activities that the individual finds rewarding and enjoyable. We strive to ensure that the people we support enjoy new activities through calculated risk reflected in risk assessments.

We can help make the transition to supported living easier.
Following an assessment, it is advisable to have a period of transition that allows us to make any agreed adaptations to the property. We work with each person to get to know them better and agree any adjustments to their new level of support. This gives everyone adequate time to complete the tenancy application, enabling the individual and their family to organise their new home and ensuring a straightforward move.
Success Stories
J's Story
J moved into her own apartment following a short stay in a mental health crisis unit. Transforming Support began with many assessments to understand better how J could be supported while living in her local community. J was central to this assessment process and loved the positive discussions with the staff who visited her. They asked her about her hopes and wishes for the future, what was important to her, and her likes and dislikes, and she said she liked being able to talk with staff about her life.
