Supported Living

About

Empowering Independence, One Home at a Time

At JBC & ME Healthcare, we believe everyone deserves the right to live independently  with the right level of care and support. Our Supported Living services are tailored to meet the unique needs of individuals living with learning disabilities, autism, or mental health conditions.

As a new and passionate provider, we bring fresh energy, modern practices, and a person-centred approach to care — ensuring our service users feel respected, supported, and empowered.

 🏡 What Is Supported Living?

Supported Living is a flexible form of care where individuals can live in their own homes or shared accommodation while receiving tailored support. Unlike residential care, you maintain your tenancy rights and independence, while we assist you with everyday living tasks.

Support is provided based on your needs — whether it’s a few hours a week or full 24/7 assistance.

👥 Who Is It For?

Our Supported Living service is ideal for adults aged 18+ who may be:

  • Living with learning disabilities
  • Diagnosed with autism spectrum conditions
  • Experiencing mental health challenges
  • Transitioning from foster care or residential services
  • In need of stable, supported housing to live well in the community

💡 What We Offer

At JBC & ME Healthcare, we work with you to build a personalised support plan that helps you live safely and confidently. Support may include:

  • Personal care (washing, dressing, grooming)
  • Medication reminders and health appointment support
  • Shopping, cooking, and meal preparation
  • Managing bills, benefits, and budgeting
  • Life skills development (travel, housekeeping, hygiene)
  • Support with hobbies, volunteering, or employment
  • Community integration and social activities
  • Cultural or faith-based needs
  • Emotional and behavioural support

Our staff are trained, DBS-checked, and committed to building positive, respectful relationships with every individual.

🚫 What’s Not Included

While we provide high-quality care and support, some things are managed separately:

  • Rent, utility bills, and home maintenance
  • Transport (unless accompanying you is required)
  • Food and personal items
  • Specialist equipment or furnishings

However, we’re happy to guide you in accessing support through local services.
