What does supported living mean to BCA supported living is used to describe the arrangement whereby someone who already has, or who wants their own tenancy or own home, also has support from a “Care and Support” provider to help them live as independently and safely as possible. They will receive support and help with any aspects that are required to live an ordinary life as possible, this could be help with:

  • Managing bills and money
  • Cooking and healthy eating
  • Getting a job
  • Shopping
  • Training
  • Mentoring
  • Learning new skills for independence
  • Personal well-being
  • Managing medication
  • Accessing employment, sports and social activities

People who live in supported living arrangements can live in a variety of different settings for example: The support that an individual need is decided and planned with them directly and their family if they are involved. Usually an assessment is completed by a Care Manager or Social Worker and then the person is introduced to a provider who can support them if they so choose. Some people decide to take what is called a “Personal Independence Payment or Direct Payment” and find someone themselves to employ directly – with this comes responsibility for all aspects of the employee’s well-being and working arrangements that the local council can advise upon. If the individual chooses to have a support provider such as choice, then they will be introduced and matched to their support staff to ensure compatibility. The council will then pay the support provider direct and will monitor closely the service that the individual is receiving.
