Supported Living

NORSACA Supported Living is a new service supporting people with autism to live in their own homes. This new service is currently supporting people from Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.

NORSACA Supported Living provides a person-centred support approach for individuals to live fulfilling lives in the community.

Individuals are supported by a Registered Manager, Assistant Managers and a team of specialist support workers, all of whom are experienced in supporting those affected by Autistic Spectrum Conditions (ASC).

NORSACA Supported Living enables individuals to maintain their own tenancy and, in some cases, a mortgage.

If you are interested in NORSACA supporting you in your home our Registered Manager will arrange to do an assessment at a convenient time, date & place. This will enable the manager to decide on how best NORSACA can support you.

On completion of the assessment we will be able to tell you exactly what NORSACA can do to support you and how much it will cost. It will then be for you to decide if you want everything we suggest or just some of it—the choice is yours.

If you do decide to use NORSACA Supported Living Services, we will arrange with you to meet the staff that are going to support you so that you can get to know them at your pace.
