Supported Living Service

Joycele Care support adults with learning disabilities and mental health needs to live the lives that they choose. Our specialist support enables people to live happy and fulfilling lives in their own homes within their communities.

Supported living is a way of helping adults with autism or learning disabilities to have the opportunity to live as independently as possible in the community.

People with learning disabilities/mental health condition like anybody else should be allowed to live as independently as possible and to enjoy a more fulfilling life in the community.

If you do not want to live in a care home/residential placement, but you would not be able to cope on your own at home, then supported living might be the right option for you.

There are a few options:

• sharing a house or flat where other people get the same help as you
• having your own house or flat with the support you need there

Each one of these options is made up of suitable or adapted accommodation with additional personal care suited to your needs. The multi-disciplinary team will work with you to determine which is the best option for you.

Our highly experienced multidisciplinary team support people to develop independence and reach their full potential. We work in a person-centred way, which means that our support and care is completely bespoke, and perfectly matched to the unique needs, preferences and aspirations of each individual.

We provide help across a range of areas to enable individuals to lead more enriching and fulfilling lives. This includes:
