Housing options
Our aim is to promote independence and maximise people's potential by providing long and short-term accommodation in a variety of settings. We also support those that choose to live in their own homes.
Assessing your needs
These services are only available following an assessment of need. This is a discussion with you to find out how best to support you with the problems you are having. We will look at your needs and decide whether you are eligible for services including attending one of our day centres.
