Radis Community Care has opened a supported living service in Shipley, West Yorkshire, to help young adults with learning disabilities and complex needs transition towards more independence.
Its staff will be working with residents on developing daily life skills such as cooking, managing finances, appointments, accessing the local community and building confidence.
Developed in partnership with Reside With Progress, with support from Bradford Council, the service offers nine one-bedroom apartments and a communal area. Radis Community Care will provide 24-hour onsite support.
‘We are very pleased to be working in partnership with Bradford Council and Reside With Progress to deliver this service,’ said Alan Gleeson, acting head of supported living services at Radis Community Care. ‘We have recruited local people and will make every effort to establish positive links with neighbours and the local community.’
The property underwent improvement works before opening, with the first residents expected to move in shortly.
Nick Stevenson, head of development at Reside With Progress, said: ‘The service has been designed to meet the needs of the tenants. Adaptations such as wet rooms enable access, safety and comfort for the tenants.
‘Developments like this deliver real social value by enabling young people to thrive locally, reducing pressure on wider services, and supporting inclusive, sustainable communities.’
