National Care Group, an adult social care provider for adults with learning disabilities, mental health diagnoses, acquired brain injuries, and autistic people, has completed a development programme in partnership with Wiltshire Council. Four brand- new supported living schemes have opened in the past year.
Developed in response to local demand in the region, the modern new properties have empowered 14 people with learning disabilities and additional support needs to live more independently and become active citizens in their local communities.
The most recent new home for young adults opened in February in Trowbridge. National Care Group collaborated with Wiltshire Council and Golden Lane Housing to develop a house that meets the needs of four new tenants, with three already having moved and settled into their new home.
The new developments are designed to ensure that people supported by the adult social care provider can create a home for

themselves and become part of their local community while still getting the expert support they need.
Belinda Robinson, Director of Development at National Care Group, said: “Ensuring that people can lead rich and fulfilling lives within their community is at the heart of what we do. The strong partnership formed with Wiltshire Council has enabled us to work collaboratively to develop much-needed services that meet local needs. Through careful planning, we have worked closely with housing partners to create high-quality services that allow people to remain in their local area, close to family and support networks.
“We are excited to see the most recent tenants settle into their new homes and become active members of the community. The success of this partnership paves the way for future opportunities as new developments and properties become available, allowing us to continue making a meaningful difference."
