Overview

​

At KPD Community Living, we provide safe, stable and supportive care pathways for adults and young people across Gloucestershire.

Our services are built around three core principles:

Safe • Stable • Supported

​

We deliver high-quality Supported Living today, with Children’s Residential Homes and Domiciliary Care expanding as part of our wider organisational development.

​

​

🟩 1. Supported Living 

​

What is Supported Living?

Supported Living enables adults with Learning Disabilities, Autism and low–moderate Mental Health needs to live independently in a safe, structured home environment while receiving personalised support based on assessed need.

Our Vision for Children’s Homes
