What is supported living?
Supported living helps adults live as independently as possible, with support tailored to their individual needs. Unlike residential care, you live in your own home — with flexible help designed around your life, not a fixed routine.
At Care1 Professional, our supported living in Dumfries & Galloway includes:
One-to-One help (As Needed)
We’ll match you with a dedicated support worker who gets to know you personally — your routines, preferences, and goals. Whether you need daily support or just a few hours a week, our local team is always nearby to lend a hand.
Overnight or 24/7 support
For those who need reassurance or regular care throughout the day and night, we offer waking-night or sleep-in staff who are always nearby to respond quickly. You’ll never feel alone — knowing help is there when you need it most.
Help managing your tenancy and home
We support you in maintaining your tenancy — from opening letters and managing bills to liaising with landlords and local housing providers such as Loreburn Housing Association, Home Group, or Dumfries & Galloway Housing Partnership (DGHP). You’ll stay confident and in control of your home.
Support with finances, budgeting & bills
Managing money can be stressful — but we can make it easier. We help with budgeting, setting up direct debits, keeping track of expenses, and accessing benefits or financial advice. With our support, you’ll stay in control of your finances and avoid unnecessary worry.
Assistance with personal care & health needs
Our compassionate support workers can help with daily routines like personal care, preparing meals, taking medication, or attending health appointments at local surgeries or Dumfries & Galloway Royal Infirmary.
Social support, hobbies & community connection
We’ll help you connect with your local community — whether that’s joining a walking group along the River Nith, attending social clubs in Stranraer, or visiting local cafés and community centres. Life is about connection, and we’re here to make sure you have it.
