supported Living
Norwood offers a number of supported living homes suitable for neurodiverse adults and/or adults with neurodevelopmental disabilities. We also support conditions such as autism, complex health and mental health needs, physical disabilities and sensory impairments as secondary needs.
Supported living is where people live in their own homes via a tenancy agreement. Supported living does not mean less support nor is it only for more independent people. The hours of support can be as little as 10 hours a week to 24/7, 1:1 support. All of our homes offer a warm, supportive environment.
There is a choice of different types of accommodation according to individual needs and preferences. This can range from self contained flats to shared houses. Some will have been purpose built, and some have been adapted to cater for mobility and access needs. Everyone has their own bedroom, which is furnished and decorated as the person chooses. Some bedrooms may have ensuite bathrooms, depending on the size of the property.

How can somebody live in Norwood’s Supported Living service?
We carefully assess each person’s needs and their requirements before offering a placement.
Referrals can be made by an individual’s family, by their assigned social worker or a health professional, and each person will be individually assessed and be given choice as to the options available and with support for them at all times.
Can I make the place my own?
All Supported Living placements can be furnished and decorated as the person chooses.
How is it paid for?
This is often a very sensitive subject as nobody would want to live in a place that they cannot afford. The tenancy of the property is paid for by the individual, and often this may be covered by their Housing Benefit. Care and support by our professional team is charged separately, and may be covered by the individual’s Council or Health Care allowance.
Why choose us?
Established in 1795, Norwood is the Jewish community’s oldest charity and has had Royal Patronage since 1815.
We support and empower neurodiverse children and their families and people with neurodevelopmental disabilities to live their best lives.
