Supported Living

Supported Living provides an opportunity for individuals who are unable to live completely independently, to live in their own home assisted by dedicated support staff. SCCT has a proven track record of providing supported living to adults with learning and/or physical disabilities. This style of living is provided in adapted properties within the local community. These properties are either ‘ordinary houses in ordinary streets’ or form part of small complexes designed to reduce social isolation. Each property is selected based on the needs and choices of the individual/s who are going to live there.

Each person living in supported living has an individual care plan outlining the exact level of support to be provided. This level of support is aimed at enhancing and maintaining an individual’s independence whilst acknowledging and addressing any personal risks. The level of support provided can be as little as 2 hours per day for independent individuals and up to 24 hours support for those with profound disabilities and complex needs.

Support is provided by trained, experienced and committed staff who are specifically chosen by clients and SCCT managers (clients having the final say in who their support workers are). This allows a personal as well as professional relationship to develop between the client, their families and the support worker/s.
