TrustStead Supported Living provides small, well-managed homes for people who are able to live semi-independently, but who benefit from structure, clear expectations and housing-related support. Our focus is on stability, safety and progression towards greater independence.
We work with local authorities, probation services, charities and other partners to deliver placements that are realistic, sustainable and outcome-focused. Our homes are designed to feel like real homes – calm, respectful environments with clear boundaries and practical support.
Shared homes with clear house rules, structured routines and housing-related support for residents who can live independently with guidance and oversight.
Accommodation for people moving on from higher support settings, temporary accommodation or institutions, with a strong emphasis on stability and reintegration.
Practical support with move-in, house rules, bills, appointments, daily living skills and maintaining a safe, orderly home environment.
Bespoke placement models, block contracts and collaborative approaches with local authorities, probation and voluntary sector partners.
Our core offer is small, semi-independent homes for adults who can live with a reasonable degree of independence, but who benefit from structure, clear house rules and regular contact with workers.
Properties are typically shared by a small number of residents, each with their own bedroom and access to shared facilities. The environment is designed to be calm, respectful and predictable, with expectations made clear from the outset.
This service suits individuals who do not need full-time care, but who are not yet ready for fully independent accommodation without structured support.
For people moving on from higher levels of support, temporary accommodation or institutional settings, a step-down period can be crucial. Our homes provide a safe and structured base from which residents can adjust, stabilise and gradually take on more responsibility.
We work closely with commissioners and partner agencies to plan move-on from the outset, aiming to avoid repeat cycles of crisis or unsuitable accommodation.
We provide structured, practical support that helps residents understand and meet their responsibilities as tenants or licensees. Support is tailored, but remains focused on real-life skills and maintaining a safe environment.
Our approach is strengths-based and boundaried: we support, encourage and challenge residents to take ownership of their progress.
TrustStead is built on a partnership mindset. We work with local authorities, probation services, voluntary organisations and other stakeholders to design offers that are realistic, safe and sustainable.
We are always open to exploring how our properties and support model can complement existing local provision and help relieve pressure on temporary or high-cost placements.
