About Walsingham Support - Supported Living
We are Walsingham Support in Hertfordshire, based in Hemel Hempstead and providing supported living to people in their own homes across the county. We work with older people, adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, people with a physical disability, and younger adults who want to live in their own place with the right backing rather than in a care setting. Much of our work is about enabling rather than doing. Where somebody wants to cook for themselves, manage their own money, keep a tenancy going, use public transport or hold down a job or a course, we work at it with them patiently and at their pace. We do not decide in advance what is beyond anybody, and we do not treat a difficult stretch as proof that something was unrealistic. Where practical help is needed with personal care, medication or the running of a household, we provide it without making a person feel their life has been taken over. Communication is the foundation of the work. We learn how each person tells us what they want, in whatever form that takes, and we make sure every worker understands it before supporting that person alone. We work closely with families, social workers and health professionals. Please get in touch to discuss support.
