Supported living
Personal care and support in the person’s own home, under their own tenancy. Housing is provided separately.

Support for home, health and community life
Support can include outreach, hours into established supported living schemes, night support and up to 24-hour support where assessed and commissioned. Housing remains separate: Lintern Care does not provide accommodation.
Two ways support can look
Some people need support in a supported living arrangement, with their own tenancy. Others need practical help at home or out in the community, without living in a supported living scheme. The standards of listening, consistency and dignity are the same.
Community and outreach support
Visits at home and support out in the community—often a few hours a week upwards, shaped around daily life.
