Adult Services
New Chapters is a family run service that offers vulnerable people the opportunity to live and build skills independently but in a supported environment. We are passionate about providing the personal touch for the individuals we support as we endeavour to be more than just a support provider but to be an integral part of the journey for the people, we have the privilege to support. We provide supported living that helps people to gain more control over their lives, encouraging them to be confident and happy to make their own choices and decisions.
What is supported living?
Supported living (or supportive living) is a service that helps people with a range of support needs retain their independence whilst still having that extra physical and emotional support needed to lead completely fulfilled lives in their own homes.
What is supported living like with New Chapters?
Supported living is designed to help people live happy lives filled with ambition. Whether it's learning a new life skill such as cooking or money management, having the confidence to take up a new hobby or make new friends, or taking the first step into volunteering or employment, we're here to support and encourage each goal, however big or small.
We know that it's important to have the right support network beside you, so we make sure to carefully match key workers with each person, considering our team's skills, knowledge and specialism, along with personality traits, hobbies and interests to make sure that we nurture friendly and rewarding relationships.
Feeling comfortable, happy, and safe in your home is crucial to your wellbeing and development, so we work hard to create such environments.
With a wide variety of supported living accommodation to choose from we take the time to get to know each person to understand what location, accommodation and adaptations will be best suited to meet their current requirements and future goals.
We know it's important to be surrounded by people you enjoy spending time with, so where individuals express an interest to live with others, we support by finding suitable housemates with similar lifestyles and interests. We have services across North Somerset and Bristol, our supported living homes are set in the heart of communities, meaning easy access to local amenities and attractions, along with having transport links close by.
