Choices Supported Living Services
Choices Supported Living Services help people with a range of needs, including mental health needs and learning disability to live independently and safely in their communities, with a focus on encouraging them to build on their strength and develop positive support networks. We aim to support our residents to achieve their life aspirations, enabling them to lead more enriching and fulfilling lives.
Our residents are at the centre of our service delivery. We work in partnership with each resident, family members (where appropriate) as well as professionals who may be supporting them, agreeing together how we will support them to be as independent as possible.
We carefully match our staff team members to each resident so that we can nurture trusting and positive working relationships. With our person-centred approach and tailored support from people they feel comfortable and secure with, service users quickly grow in confidence.
