Supported Living

A home of your own, with the right support around you

At Buxton Healthcare, our Supported Living service helps adults live as independently as possible in their own homes or shared accommodation. We design flexible, person-centred support around each individual’s goals – from building daily living skills to accessing the community, education, and employment.

Who we support

We work with adults (18+) who may be autistic, have a learning disability, mental health needs, physical disabilities, or a combination of needs. Whether you’re stepping down from residential care, moving on from the family home, or looking for a more independent alternative to supported housing, we can help plan a smooth transition.

What supported living means

Supported living separates housing from care. You choose where you live and who you live with; we provide the support you need to thrive. That can range from a few hours each week to 24/7 support, including sleep-ins or waking nights, depending on assessed need.

Typical support includes

  • Daily living skills (meal planning, cooking, cleaning, budgeting)
  • Personal care (where assessed/commissioned)
  • Managing medication and health appointments
  • Travel training and community access
  • Building confidence and social connections
  • Education, volunteering, and routes into work
  • Support with benefits, correspondence and liaising with housing providers where agreed.
  • Positive behaviour support and structured routines

Person Centred Planning

Your goals lead the plan. We build a personalised support plan with you (and those you choose), and review it regularly so it adapts as your independence grows.

Positive Outcomes

We focus on outcomes that matter — improved wellbeing, greater choice and control, stronger daily living skills, and meaningful participation in the community.

Consistent, Trained Teams

Our staff are carefully matched to each person. They receive ongoing training in safeguarding, dignity in care, medication, autism awareness, learning disability, mental health, and de-escalation/positive behaviour support.

No. In supported living you hold your own tenancy (or share), giving you more choice and control over your home. Care and housing are arranged separately.

Yes. If you prefer shared living, we’ll help explore compatible housemates and properties. You can also live alone with support if that suits you best.

Your plan is reviewed regularly. Support can step up or down, including short-term increases (for example, after hospital discharge).

Where assessed and commissioned, our teams can provide dignified personal care as part of a broader independence-focused plan.

After assessment and agreement of funding, we work with you to create a safe, timely start - phased if needed to build confidence.

Supported Living

Residential Care

Warm, supportive homes with 24/7 care where required. Person-centred plans focus on daily living skills, wellbeing, and meaningful participation in the community.

Crisis Support

Rapid, stabilising support when situations escalate. We create clear plans, coordinate professionals, and keep people safe while restoring routine and confidence.

Family Support

Family Support

Practical, compassionate help for families and carers. We offer guidance, respite, and tailored strategies that strengthen relationships and build independence at home.
