If you learn one new thing today, let it be this! 🤩

Most people know Made-Well for our amazing day opportunities, supporting individuals to build skills, confidence, friendships and independence… but did you know that’s not all we do? 👀

🏡 Made-Well also provides Housing Management and acts as the Landlord for Specialised Supported Housing.
This means we don’t just support people during the day - we help create safe, comfortable and person-centred homes where people can live as independently as possible, with the right support around them.

🤝 While Made-Well delivers the supported housing and landlord role, we work closely in partnership with My Way, the care provider who delivers daily, person-centred support within our homes. By working together, we ensure individuals receive both high-quality housing and the care they need to thrive.

Our supported housing focuses on:
💙 Promoting independence and wellbeing
💙 Providing high-quality, well-maintained and compliant homes
💙 Working closely with care providers, families and professionals
💙 Creating stable, long-term housing solutions
💙 Supporting individuals to feel safe, valued and at home
We’re passionate about making sure people don’t just have somewhere to live… but somewhere they can truly thrive 🌟

If you’d like more information, or think you or someone you support may be interested in living in one of our homes, we’d love to hear from you.
