Carers who support someone in a supported living home 2025

Overview

Supported Living engagement Carers Surveys – Your Home Your Say

Sefton Council is working jointly with Sefton Carers Centre and Healthwatch Sefton to understand the views carers have about Supported Living.

The main reason for Supported Living is for people with an eligible care need to live in their own home and have control over the support they receive. Supported Living can look different for different people.  For one person, a few hours support a week may meet their needs. For another person they may require support all day every day to assist them.

We want to co-produce a range of high quality accommodation with support across Sefton by 2026 for both older adults and young adults with disabilities. The co-produced services will better meet people’s care and support needs, whilst promoting their health, wellbeing, and independence.

For people who would like independent support to complete the survey you can contact the Healthwatch Sefton Signposting Service on 0800 206 1304 between the hours of 9am – 5pm, Monday – Friday. If the line is busy, please leave a message which includes your name and phone number and we will get back in touch with you.

Why your views matter

We would appreciate your time in completing this survey. This will give us information to develop the draft Supported Living Strategy and future services.

We want to work with our key partners in Sefton including those who provide services and people with lived experience and their carers.
