Radis Community Care to open supported living service

Radis Community Care and SEP Properties are renovating a pub in Walsall, West Midlands, into a supported living service.

Consisting of 12 self-contained apartments, communal areas and a manager’s office, the building will be named Bowman’s Court. SEP is a property investor and developer, and the firm is in the final stages of the development with the service expected to open in summer.

Built with assisted technology, Bowman’s Court will be kitted out with 360-degree CCTV and access control. It will include a 24/7 warden call system and the building will allow for keyless entry in the form of fobs.

Managed by Inclusion Housing, each apartment will have a fitted kitchen, bedroom, living space and a bathroom as well as being supplied with underfloor heating.

Palminder Singh, director at SEP Properties, said: ‘As a local business, we’re keen to work on projects that will benefit the community and this does exactly that.

‘We’ve worked closely with Radis Community Care to ensure the bespoke development is suitable for the individuals who will call it home. And we have done so by implementing first-class assisted technology to the supported living service.’

Gavin Dixon, head of supported living services at Radis Community Care, added: ‘We’re incredibly proud to have teamed up with SEP Properties to create a first-class facility for individuals with various care needs. It’s fantastic to support other local businesses and to have created such a community-focused facility together is an honour.’
