Supported living housing
Adult Learning Disability
Supported living housing 
Our small group homes offer supported living/housing tenancies for adults with learning disabilities. We can accommodate up to 41 adults across 9 homes.
Each home has its own special character and a family feel, and each provides a highly personalised service.
39 people supported to live as independently as possible in group homes with a real family feel.
Our homes
We currently provide supported living across Yorkshire in:
- East Leeds
- North Leeds
- Bingley
- Brighouse
- Skipton
- Todmorden
- Shipley
- Keighley
- Dewsbury
Within the home
Tenants have their own key and bedroom (which they can choose to furnish and decorate to their taste), and shared facilities.
They are supported in devising weekly menus, doing the shopping, and preparing their own meals.
Each tenant has a key support worker, who works with them and their family and/or advocate to draw up their own support plan.
Activities
All of our tenants are encouraged and supported to be as independent as possible in accessing services in the local community – such as further education, employment, social and leisure activities, attending medical appointments and maintaining their tenancy.
Family & friends
Family and friends are free to visit, in line with the tenants’ wishes and the visitors’ agreement.
Residential home
Adult Learning Disability
Residential home
Our residential home is ideal for adults with learning disabilities who would benefit from living in a residential environment.
We provide a homely, welcoming and friendly environment for our residents, supporting their independence, fulfilment, rights, choice, and dignity – helping them take their rightful place within the community.
10 people supported to live with choice and dignity in our residential home.
Our home
Our home has its own special, friendly character and provides a highly personalised service. Currently, we provide support for adults in Yorkshire, in our residential home in:
Address: House of Light, 13 Allerton Park, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS7 4ND.
Telephone: 0113 2681 480
Within the home
Each resident has their own bedroom, furnished and decorated to their own taste. They can choose weekly menus, where able, and they enjoy a wide variety of well-prepared foods within a healthy, nutritious and balanced diet (including special diets). Wherever possible, residents are encouraged to help prepare and cook their meals.
Activities
Our residents are supported in accessing a range of social, educational, leisure and health services. Day-care placements are negotiable, depending on requirements.
Family & friends
We encourage family members, friends and advocates to offer continuity and support, and they are free to visit at any reasonable time (but making arrangements in advance helps to ensure residents are at home and that a room can be made available).
Outreach services
Adult Learning Disability
Outreach services
We provide outreach services to adults with learning disabilities who live at home. This includes emotional, social and practical support for the individual as well as their families and carers. We provide individuals with the support and advice they need to live full and independent lives in their own homes.
We respect their individuality and their right to choose, and we create care and support plans that reflect each person’s wishes and circumstances.
I can’t say how much I appreciate the service – both in going the extra mile for my daughter and advising me on the way forward and to help my daughter on the first step of living independently.
– A grateful parent
