SUPPORTED LIVING
Supported living is defined as persons with special educational needs and/or disabilities living where and with whom they want, for as long as they want, with the ongoing support needed to sustain that choice.
You may hear about supported living services during a needs assessment.
Supported living services can be provided by the local council or charities, or they may be run by commercial companies.

INDEPENDENT LIVING
If a supported living service arrangement isn't suitable for you, you may still want to think about personal care at home, wherever you live, and other help, such as household equipment to make your life easier or home adaptations.

Barnsley Mencap
We support people with a learning disability to live how and where they choose in our supported living services.
We have been supporting people for years, so we know what quality support looks like.
We can provide personal support to help you with things like getting dressed. We can also help you around the home, such as cooking a meal. And if you would like support to go out in the community or to do your favourite thing, we can help you to with that too.
Support is available from a couple of hours a week to 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
