About Supported Housing Network
The Halton Supported Housing Network provides support to people living in their own homes in Widnes and across the Halton area. We work with older people, adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults, people with physical disabilities, people with visual or hearing impairment and younger adults. Most of our work is about enabling rather than doing. The people we support have their own homes and their own plans, and our part is to help make those workable rather than take charge of them. That might mean support with cooking, shopping and managing money, help getting to work, college or appointments, company on the bus, or somebody steady to think a problem through with. With autistic people in particular we pay close attention to routine, to giving proper warning before anything changes and to the sensory side of somebody's environment, because those details often decide whether a day works. Where somebody has a physical disability we learn how their equipment is used and how they prefer to be helped to move, and we follow their way of doing it. Where there is a sensory impairment we adapt how we communicate and keep things where the person expects to find them. We keep the team around each person small and settled, because this kind of support depends on a relationship. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are looking into support at home in Halton, please get in touch and we will be honest about whether we can help.
