Tell me about supported living
For adults with additional needs, good quality houses are important to help them live independent lives. At Avalon, we provide a number of specialist properties in partnership with housing providers.
What matters most is the right environment for the right person, and we strive to make sure each person we support has the right home for them, including factors like the local community, accessibility, adaptations, assistive technology and the design of the building itself.
It’s tailored to you
The people we support are at the centre of all we do. And that means when you come to us for support in your home, we really get to know you so we can match you with support workers who like the same things you do. You’re in control and you can let us know when you want support, and who you want to be there for you. It’s flexible because no ones needs are the same.
Who do we support with supported living?
We can help you if you’re an adult with additional needs, and that could mean that you have:
- A physical disability
- A learning disability
- An acquired brain injury
- A sensory impairment
- A mental health condition
- Complex needs with a combination of different conditions
How can supported living help me?
We can help you find a home tailored to your needs. And once we’ve found your perfect place to live, we’ll be there to help you with your daily life. Either through 24/7 support, or through regular visits – it’s all about what you need most. We can be there for you with:
- Personal care – like bathing, dressing, support at mealtimes
- Support with cooking and cleaning
- Helping to give you your medication
- Support to do fun things and get out and about
- Support to remain within the workplace or place of learning
- Help you learn more life skills like planning meals, managing your budgets, helping you move home

With Avalon you can take control of your own life, taking positive steps to achieve your goals and dreams.
