Supported Living enables individuals to live in their own home, shared accommodation or specialist housing while receiving tailored support that meets their individual needs. Unlike residential care, Supported Living focuses on maximising independence, promoting choice and control, encouraging community inclusion, developing practical life skills and providing flexible, personalised support. Every support package is built around the individual, ensuring they have the opportunity to live as independently and confidently as possible.
We provide Supported Living services for adults with a wide range of needs, including learning disabilities, autism spectrum conditions, mental health conditions, complex needs, behavioural support needs, young adults transitioning from children’s services, individuals requiring housing-related support and people developing independent living skills. Every individual receives a personalised support plan based on their strengths, aspirations, personal goals and level of support required.
At Celeste Care, we take a strengths-based approach that focuses on what each individual can achieve while providing the support they need to overcome challenges. Before support begins, we carry out a comprehensive assessment that considers personal goals, daily living skills, communication needs, emotional wellbeing, risk factors, housing arrangements, community access, family involvement and education or employment ambitions. Using this information, we develop a personalised support plan that is regularly reviewed and adapted as needs and aspirations evolve.
Our flexible Supported Living services are designed to promote independence across every aspect of daily life. We support individuals with personal development by building confidence, developing life skills, encouraging informed decision-making and helping them achieve personal goals. We also provide practical daily living support, including cooking, meal preparation, cleaning, home management, shopping, budgeting, medication support and personal care where required. To encourage community participation, we assist individuals in accessing social activities, building friendships, attending appointments, pursuing hobbies and interests, and exploring volunteering opportunities. Where emotional or behavioural support is needed, we provide positive behaviour support strategies, emotional regulation, anxiety management, structured routines and de-escalation techniques. We also offer housing-related support by helping individuals sustain their tenancy, understand their responsibilities, manage bills and correspondence, and maintain a safe and comfortable living environment.
Every individual receives a fully personalised support plan that clearly outlines their goals and desired outcomes, daily and weekly support arrangements, risk management strategies, communication preferences, behaviour support plans where appropriate, family involvement and regular review schedules. These plans are flexible and continually updated to reflect progress, changing needs and new opportunities for greater independence.
Our Supported Living services are designed to help individuals achieve greater independence, improve essential life skills, build confidence, strengthen community connections, enhance emotional wellbeing, successfully maintain their tenancy, progress towards education or employment and, where appropriate, reduce reliance on formal support over time. We measure success by the progress, confidence and improved quality of life experienced by every individual we support.
Where individuals have behavioural support needs, we use a Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) approach that focuses on understanding behaviours, preventing challenges and developing positive coping strategies. Our approach includes identifying triggers, implementing proactive support strategies, reducing restrictive practices, promoting positive routines, supporting emotional regulation and working closely with families and professionals to improve quality of life and reduce distress.
Families play an essential role in successful Supported Living, and we value working in partnership throughout the care journey. We involve families in care planning and regular reviews, maintain open communication, support transitions into adulthood, provide reassurance and guidance, and help strengthen healthy relationships. Our collaborative approach ensures everyone works together to achieve the best possible outcomes.
Our referral process is straightforward and designed to make accessing support as simple as possible. It begins with an initial enquiry or referral, followed by an assessment of needs and eligibility, a meeting with the individual and their family, development of a personalised support plan, completion of risk assessments and placement planning, introduction to the support team, and ongoing reviews to ensure the support continues to meet changing needs. We work closely with local authorities, case managers and private families throughout this process.
Families, professionals and commissioners choose Celeste Care because we provide person-centred, strengths-based support delivered by experienced and highly trained support workers. Our flexible support packages are underpinned by strong safeguarding practices, robust governance, a focus on independence and measurable outcomes, expertise in Positive Behaviour Support, effective partnership working with healthcare and social care professionals, and an unwavering commitment to dignity, inclusion and empowerment. We believe Supported Living should create opportunities for people to thrive, not place limits on their potential.
