Lot 3 - Concierge Plus

Alongside this, each individual usually has a package of care and support from a provider of their choice who provides up to 25 hours of support per week.

Lot 4 - Shared Living (ISL)

This is the more traditional ISL model of support where up to 4 people share a house and each person holds a tenancy. Support is provided around the clock by a care team who are responsible for supporting everyone who lives there. These tenancies usually include an element of assistive technology, managed by the care team, to enable support to be provided in the most effective way. In a small number of cases, this type of support is provided to a person living on their own.

Lot 5 - Enhanced Concierge Plus

Enhanced Concierge Plus offers apartment living for 15 people aged 18 or over, with a mixture of one bedroom and two-bedroom apartments set around communal garden areas.
