About Bamburgh Supported Living

Bamburgh Supported Living supports people in their own homes in Colchester and across this part of Essex. We work with adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, people living with mental ill health and younger adults. In supported living the aim is somebody's own life, not a placement. Support is planned around what each person wants to be able to do, and we keep asking whether we are helping more than is wanted, because independence slips away quietly if nobody is protecting it. For some people that means cooking, budgeting and getting to work or college. For others it means managing a tenancy, keeping appointments and having somebody reliable who turns up. We learn how each person communicates, including those who use little or no speech, and we adapt to them rather than the reverse. Predictability, noise and sensory needs all affect how a day goes, and we treat those as part of the support rather than as detail. Where mental ill health is part of the picture, we work closely with community teams and raise concerns early. Reliability matters more than anything here. Somebody who turns up, who knows the person, who does not make a fuss on a bad day and does not disappear on a good one. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch to talk things through.
