Supported Living — Living Independently, Living Well
CQC-registered supported living support for adults with learning disabilities, autism and mental health needs — helping people live safely and independently in their own home or supported accommodation.

What Is Supported Living?
Supported living is a form of social care that enables adults with learning disabilities, autism, mental health conditions or other complex needs to live in their own home or in shared accommodation — with professional support tailored entirely to their individual needs.
Unlike residential care, supported living keeps the person at the centre of their own life. They have their own tenancy, their own front door and their own daily routine — supported by a skilled, consistent team who are there as much or as little as needed.
At Marula Support Services, our supported living service is built on the same person-centred, PBS-grounded values that have driven everything we do since we were founded. We support adults to develop skills, build confidence, engage with their community and live a genuinely full life.

What We Provide
Every area of support is shaped around the individual — their needs, their goals and their life.
Personal Care Support
Dignified, patient help with daily personal care routines — at the individual's own pace and always with their full involvement.
Daily Living Skills
Building independence in cooking, cleaning, budgeting, shopping and home management — working alongside people, not for them.
Community Inclusion
Supporting access to social activities, employment, education, leisure and all aspects of community life that the person chooses.
Medication Management
Consistent medication prompts, administration support and coordination with GPs and community health teams.
Positive Behaviour Support
PBS-grounded behavioural support that focuses on understanding and prevention — not reaction and control.
24-Hour Flexible Support
Flexible support hours from a few hours per day to 24-hour coverage — built entirely around the individual's assessed needs and goals.

Our Approach
Our supported living service is grounded in Positive Behaviour Support (PBS), person-centred planning and a genuine belief that every adult — regardless of their support needs — has the right to live a self-determined, meaningful and included life.
We work with the person, their family, their social worker and their wider support network to build a support plan that reflects who they are, what they want and where they want to go.
How To Get Started
We make the process as straightforward as possible — guiding you every step of the way.
Get in Touch
Call us or send an enquiry. Our specialist team will listen carefully, answer your questions and explain the supported living process — without pressure.
Assessment and Support Planning
We carry out a thorough assessment of the individual's needs, goals and preferences, working with them, their family and their social worker to build a detailed, person-centred support plan.
Support Worker Matching
We carefully match each person with support workers whose skills, experience and personality are the right fit — consistency and trust are central to everything we do.
Support Begins and Reviews Continue
Support starts and regular reviews keep the plan current. As needs, goals and circumstances change, we adapt — always keeping the person at the centre.
