What Supported Living Looks like to 3 Trees
We empower adults with learning disabilities to live independently in their own homes—supporting them to manage bills, handle finances, complete household tasks, and purchase essentials. We assist them in attending activities, visiting family, meeting friends, following daily routines, taking medication, and keeping appointments. Our goal is to help each individual lead a happy, healthy, and fulfilling life through a holistic approach to care.
Our Supported Living services are among the most sought-after and successful packages we provide. This success is built on the trust we establish with those we support, the professionalism of our staff, and the high standard of care we deliver.

3 Trees staff testimonial:
‘We had so much fun organising and attending Jubilee celebrations with our guys. I’m not sure who enjoyed themselves more! We all ate and drank far too much whilst sat in the sunshine catching up on gossip. We excelled with the blue, red, and white decorations. I love my job!’
Supporting People to Stay Healthy
At 3 Trees, we help individuals manage their health and well-being by supporting them in making informed lifestyle choices.
We provide practical assistance with areas such as annual health checks, medication management, scheduling and attending health appointments, and coordinating with health professionals. This ensures a holistic, personalised approach tailored to each person’s unique health needs.
3 Trees staff testimonial:
The person I supported continually tried to poke objects into their ears, making them very red and sore. They were experiencing continual ear infections and likely feeling pretty miserable. After several GP visits, which did not resolve the issue, I was adamant that they needed to be referred for further investigation. The issue was subsequently identified and treated successfully with a procedure. They were much happier and clearly no longer suffering. This process made me feel very proud and satisfied that I am part of a team that can really make a difference in people’s lives.”

3 Trees staff testimonial:
‘It was so exciting to be part of the moving in process for someone that we had been supporting in the community for several years. I will never forget the look on their face as they opened the door and saw the flat decorated in their chosen colours. We worked alongside the person and their family to make this a positive experience for them. They haven’t looked back since moving in to their own home!’
Ensuring My Voice is Heard
At 3 Trees, we believe everyone deserves to be heard and to have their human rights respected. We are passionate about ensuring that all individuals have the right to safely and freely access their communities without prejudice.
Personal Care
3 Trees staff testimonial:
‘To be honest with you, I was quite worried by the prospect of delivering personal care when I first joined the company. I soon realised that the people I support with personal care are no different to anybody and want to get on with their day. When I provide support with personal care, I now understand that the person I am supporting must really trust me. I have realised that it makes someone feel really good about themselves which in turn makes me very happy! That to me is why I do the job I do. I consider being a support worker a privilege because I get to make living possible.’

Supported Living is:
Supported Living is a service designed to help individuals with various support needs maintain their independence while providing additional physical and emotional support as needed. This approach empowers people to lead fulfilling lives in their own homes with tailored support that promotes autonomy.
Typically, those in Supported Living have their own tenancy and reside in housing provided by a specialist organisation. They maintain full control over bills, household chores, and other responsibilities associated with independent living. Support is delivered separately, ensuring that individuals can maximize their independence and pursue their personal goals.
Residential Living is:
Residential care is designed for adults with complex conditions who need 24/7 specialist support to manage their daily needs. This service provides both accommodation and personal care, with each resident having a private bedroom as well as access to shared communal spaces like the living room, dining room, and kitchen. This setup allows residents to enjoy privacy and independence in their rooms while also offering the opportunity to connect and spend time with others.
