We are a leading specialist care provider for people with learning disabilities, autism, mental health conditions and associated complex needs. We provide residential and supported living services for over 600 people, with expertise across a wide range of specialist conditions, including support for those exhibiting behaviours that challenge. Effective and consistent processes backed by continuous investment in staff development ensure we deliver consistently high standards of personalised care across all our services.
With over 25 years' experience, we are at the forefront of national best practice and innovation, market-leader in the South of England. Quality, safety, good governance and the delivery of successful outcomes are fundamental to our ethos. Our standards significantly exceed statutory requirements, underpinned by stringent inspection and audit processes, and we consistently achieve among the highest CQC ratings of any comparable organisation in the country.

In a recent report, 90% of the people we support with mental health conditions, and 85% with learning disabilities, displayed improved behaviour, or remained at an improved level since their last review.
Specialist care services
To support a wide of range complex needs, we offer a comprehensive set of service options from high acuity residential care to more flexible supported living solutions, creating an effective pathway to more independent lifestyles.
Our residential homes provide a safe, supportive and therapeutic living environment, equipped to the highest standards, including unique specialist facilities, such as our annexes. A consistent approach, emphasising choice and independence, ensures we can transfer our high quality residential standards to the supported living model, as complementary capabilities, removing the potential for compromise across cost and quality of care.
Diverse services
We operate over 60 residential homes, and a breadth of supported living services, each of which has been designed to meet local needs. This means we can offer range and diversity, including single-sex homes and specialist environments, while bringing together people with similar challenges and care requirements.
