Supported Living Services

We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live a life fulfilled with purpose, connection, and independence. At Unity Plus, we design our supported living services around the individual, considering their aspirations, preferences, and needs.

As a clinically-led team, our staff work hard to ensure all vulnerable adults are provided with tailored, high-quality care.

Why choose supported living with Unity Plus?

Selecting the right supported living provider is a significant step. At Unity Plus, our team boasts a diverse range of specialist skills and backgrounds in mental health, commissioning, neuro rehab, learning disabilities, and nursing. Our service is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and subject to extensive self-assessments and audits, ensuring that the service we deliver meets the highest standards. We ensure all staff have undertaken 30 modules of training before they start with us, which is much higher than other vendors.

We have recently been awarded 100% in our recent Quality Review by North Yorkshire Council, scoring the maximum 190 points across eight different domains.

What we offer as supported living providers

Our team listens to each individual’s story, routines, needs, and preferences. This forms the foundation of an assisted living support plan, which will be created before the start date of support.

HEALTH & MEDICATION: Specific health conditions, medication schedules, allergies, dietary requirements, and how health needs are to be monitored and supported.

FINANCES: How the individual manages their finances (if support is required), who is responsible for what, and specific instructions regarding financial matters related to their care.

DAILY ROUTINES: When things usually happen, where they happen, and the preferred ways of doing things.

PREFERENCES: Which things to buy, which things to avoid (food, activities, sensory sensitivities etc).

HOME MAINTENANCE: Tasks the individual needs support with, preferred cleaning products, and any specific requirements for their living environment.

COMMUNICATION: What words to use, language preferences, any communication aids, and how to understand the individual.

Customised care plan

We specifically match each individual with a Support Worker, support team, and a dedicated on-site Key Worker, supported by an allocated Team Leader chosen due to their specific skills and interests.

We take the time to find connections between an individual’s likes, dislikes, and interests. Having the right team that aligns with an individual’s preferences provides a positive and trusting relationship.

Meet The Wider Team

At Unity Plus, one of the key differences we provide is our commitment to empowering individuals to lead as independent lives as possible, offering tailored support plans with flexible, scheduled visits to maximise support hours. Focused on building skills for daily living, social engagement, and community access.

Unlike many providers, we offer single-occupancy properties, enabling us to cater to individuals with highly complex needs that require tailored support. This approach ensures equitable opportunities for those who often struggle to find suitable services.

The cost of supported living is often specific to individuals’ assessed needs and the support plan required. Funding can be accessed through various avenues, including local authority following a Care Act assessment, personal budgets and direct payments, housing benefits for supported living accommodation costs, and NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC). In some cases, joint funding and individual contributions may be appropriate, but these will depend on individual circumstances. Our team can guide you through these options and offer advice on the most suitable funding options for your supported living requirements.

Supported living provides care and support services to individuals with complex care needs, helping them live as independently as possible in their chosen environment. It’s a service where individuals with specific living preferences, whether that’s a shared house or flat, receive a tailored care plan specific to their needs to assist them with daily tasks and activities.
