Housing (easy read)

We support people to stay living in their own home. There are different types of housing and support to choose from.

If you need a lot of care and support, you might live as part of a group in a residential care home.

If you need help with washing, dressing and taking medication, you might live in a nursing home.

Residential care and nursing homes have areas like lounges, dining rooms and gardens where you can spend time with other people.

If you need less support, you might live in supported housing. This will give you more independence and control of your life.

In supported housing, you could live as part of a group or on your own. We will give you as much or as little support as you need.

You can choose to have extra support, such as pendants and pull cords. This is called telecare and can help to keep you safe at home for longer.

You might have a landlord. They will make sure the house you live in stays in a good condition.

Your landlord will give you a document called a Tenancy Agreement. This tells you what your rights and responsibilities are.

Whatever type of house you live in, we will support you to feel happy and safe at home.
