Frequently Asked Questions
Who are your supported living homes designed for?
Our properties are designed for autistic people and individuals with learning and/or physical disabilities or other neurodiversities who require bespoke, accessible, and thoughtfully created homes. We provide homes for adults and children, offering both individual and shared living options.
Do you work directly with families as well as care providers?
Yes. We support parents planning future housing, care providers managing referrals, residential colleges preparing young adults for transition, and registered providers seeking high-quality homes.
What makes your homes different from typical supported living accommodation?
Our designs are informed by personal and clinical experience as well as up-to-date best practice. They are designed with a specific user(s) in mind and their wishes and needs are central to their design. Our homes are contemporary, warm, sensory-aware, and spacious. They are designed to be life-long residences that encourage personal growth, independence and well-being.
Can you create bespoke adaptations for specific individuals?
Absolutely. We design for physical accessibility, sensory comfort, and independence. This includes adapted kitchens, wet rooms, wider hallways, safe gardens, and more.
Do you manage the entire property development process?
Yes. We provide an end-to-end service—from locating a suitable property to adapting it, overseeing construction, ensuring compliance, and delivering a move-in-ready home.
