About AT HAND SUPPORTED LIVING SERVICES

At Hand provides supported living in Reading and across Wokingham, working with people in their own homes. Supported living is a different proposition from a care home and the difference is the whole point. The tenancy belongs to the person. The front door is theirs. We are there because we are needed and wanted, not because we are supervising, and the aim is for our involvement to fit the life rather than the other way round. We support older adults and younger adults. In practice that means doing things with people and not for them. Cooking, shopping, budgeting, keeping on top of a tenancy, getting to work or college, managing appointments, and handling organisations that are not built for everybody who has to deal with them. Where somebody needs a great deal of routine in order to feel settled, we hold that routine consistently and without resenting it. Risk comes up often. We start from how something might be made to work rather than from a refusal, because a life with all the risk taken out of it is not much of a life. We have not yet had a full inspection by the Care Quality Commission, so there is no rating to show you. Get in touch and come and talk to us.
