Our new supported living development, Rosehip House, opens in Islington!

Our new supported living development, Rosehip House, will provide 11 adults with learning disabilities the chance to live in their local community, close to their support networks.

The homes are built on the site of a former car park and old, disused garages. We designed the scheme in partnership with Islington’s Adult Social Care team and the Learning Disability Partnership to meet best practice standards for supported living services.

Rosehip House, named by a local advocacy group for people with learning disabilities, offers high-quality housing alongside 24/7 support enabling residents to live healthy, fulfilling, and independent lives in a safe place they call home.

It provides four homes in a ‘pod model’, where residents with greater support needs have their own bathroom and bedroom with a shared kitchen and dining area, and seven 1-bedroom self-contained flats for residents who can live more independently.

The scheme also benefits from an assisted bathroom, a wheelchair transfer room, two communal lounges, a sunny rear garden, cycle storage and a laundry. On-site staff support will be available, with a dedicated space for care workers, including an office and overnight accommodation.

Cllr John Woolf, Islington Council's Executive Member for Homes and Neighbourhoods, said: "“This new development is more than bricks and mortar; it’s a place where people will be supported to live full, independent lives as part of our community.”
