Social care provider National Care Group has opened a new adult supported living scheme in Sheffield, which will support up to eight adults with learning disabilities and additional support needs who are ready to take their next steps toward living more independently and achieving goals.

The scheme was developed in partnership with specialist housing provider Lets for Life, local authority Sheffield City Council, and developer IMC Developments.

Belinda Robinson, director of development at National Care Group, said: “The new supported living provision addresses a shortage of specialist accommodation in Yorkshire. Our successful partnership with Sheffield City Council and blossoming partnerships with Lets for Life and IMC Developments have enabled us to create a service that perfectly matches the requirements of the people who will call it home. We look forward to working on future projects together and developing more schemes that will enable the people we support to live their best lives.”

Councillor Angela Argenzio, chair of adult health and social care committee at Sheffield City Council, said: “We are so thrilled to support National Care Group with the opening of its new adult supported living scheme in Sheffield. Through working in a partnership with Lets for Life and IMC Developments, we have now created homes carefully adapted to each tenant, which will help individuals thrive and feel like an active part of our city.”

Thirteen new jobs have been created by the scheme.

National Care Group supports around 1,400 people across more than 250 services in the UK.
