Our supported living in Milton Keynes is an ideal solution for someone who has been in residential care and requires support before returning to a fully independent living situation. The town houses are comfortable and well-maintained, providing a safe and stable environment in a community setting. A warden is on duty overnight, who is responsible for the safety of the property and residents. There’s also a free 24-hour on-call service.
BHS staff deliver care services to residents. These are bespoke according to individual needs. The number of hours allocated will vary with each resident, as these are specified by their care package.
