Supported living with Bosun Care Ltd

We believe that everyone, regardless of disability, has the same rights and responsibilities and should be able to: 

Live in suitable accommodation that is well managed and maintained 
Be supported by a trained staff team 
Be supported to live their lives well, including choosing their own relationships 
Be given information and advice to be integrated with the community as they want to 
Be healthy and safe 
Be able to ask for help to make changes to their lives 

Supported living means different things to different people. 

Our aim is to embed independent living skills, to allow the person to make the move from supported living to independent living when it is safe and suitable for them to take this next step. 
 
For some, it may be a few hours support a week in their home environment, for others, around the clock support may be needed. 
 
It allows for choice and control and a significant degree of independence and self-reliance, helping to build life skills and self-esteem whilst allowing access to the care they need whilst they need it.
