Our Approach to Safe, Stable and High-Quality Support

At KPD Community Living, our operational model is built around three core principles:

 

SAFE • STABLE • SUPPORTED

​

These principles underpin every aspect of how we design homes, deliver support, train staff and monitor quality. Our framework ensures that every person we support receives consistent, person-centred care in a safe and stable environment.

 

🟩 Our Supported Living Model

We deliver a small homes, high-quality outcomes model designed specifically for:

• Adults with Learning Disabilities

• Autistic adults

• 16–25 transitions

• Individuals stepping down from residential, inpatient or out-of-county placements

 

Our homes typically support 2–3 people, ensuring:

• Calm, low-stimulus environments

• Predictability and routine

• Reduced placement breakdown risk

• Increased personal space and dignity

• Better staff-resident relationships

 

This model aligns with social care best practice and Local Authority commissioning objectives for sustainable community living.

 

🟦 Accommodation Stability Through PropCo Ownership

Through KPD Group Holdings, we operate a PropCo + OpCo model, giving commissioners and families long-term confidence.

​

Our PropCo approach provides:

• Owned or long-leased homes

• Zero landlord uncertainty

• Future-proofed housing capacity

• Ability to mobilise new capacity in GL1, GL2, GL3, GL51 regions

• Long-term home stability for individuals

 

This ensures placements are secure, predictable and free from tenancy instability.
