Across Wiltshire, we provide supported living services for individuals with learning disabilities, mental health needs, physical impairments, and autism, particularly where needs are complex.
Working in partnership with local authorities and ICBs, we deliver a range of accommodation-based services as well as county-wide outreach support, helping people live independently in their own homes while staying engaged with their communities.
Our accommodation-based services are located in Devizes, Melksham, Swindon, Trowbridge, and Semington, with outreach support extending to popular towns across Wiltshire including Chippenham, Calne, Marlborough, Salisbury, and Amesbury. This enables flexible, person-centred support that adapts to each individual’s needs, goals, and lifestyle.
In Wiltshire, our supported living services are designed to help individuals achieve greater independence and explore their potential. We also offer the LIFE service (Lasting Independence For Everyone), which focuses on developing essential skills to support long-term personal growth. Our Agincare Enable team are experts at supporting you to do what matters most, working alongside you as active partners in your care to ensure every plan is tailored to your aspirations and daily needs.
Our services in Wiltshire
Each of our supported living services in Wiltshire is unique, offering tailored environments that cater to individual needs. Many of our properties are located within local communities and feature self-contained apartments or bungalows, alongside communal lounges and gardens that provide the perfect balance of privacy and social interaction.
Furlong Close is one of our flagship services, providing a home for 28 residents across six bungalows. Each resident has a learning disability, autism spectrum condition, or physical disability. The ethos at Furlong Close is centred on personalised care and fostering independence, enabling residents to live fulfilling lives as part of the wider community. Residents are supported to pursue hobbies and activities that matter to them, whether that’s trips and holidays, volunteering, employment, social clubs, or other interests.
When you move in, you are encouraged to make your space your own. You can decorate, bring in favourite furniture, and personalise your apartment to create a home that feels comfortable and familiar. Any specialist equipment or furniture needed can also be provided before you move in, ensuring your home is ready to meet your needs from day one.
Across Wiltshire, our services focus on empowering residents to live independently, develop new skills, and enjoy meaningful, fulfilling lives, with flexible support available whenever it’s needed.

Arranging supported living is commonly done through your local authority. They will conduct an initial assessment to determine what type of care you need, how it will be provided and who will provide it.
The council may provide the support services or there may be a choice of provider from a list of approved organisations. The choice of provider can depend on factors such as the specific requirements involved, the services offered by the provider and the location of the supported living accommodation.
We do provide private outreach services for those not seeking support through their local authority. For more information, or to get started, call our expert care advisors today.
We offer a range of care and support options tailored to your needs. This can range from personal care and medication management to more personalised support such as help with daily living skills, managing your tenancy, mental health support, advice around managing your finances, and assistance finding education and career opportunities.
Our support teams commonly support individuals with:
• Developing independent living skills
• Planning menus, shopping and cooking
• Personal care
• Building and maintaining your social networks
• Travel training
• Being part of your local community
• Budgeting skills
• Getting to appointments

How much supported living in Wiltshire costs is dependent on the property and the amount of care and support you receive. In supported living, you rent or purchase your home meaning that the exact price will be dependent on the area and current market value.
The cost of care is based on the level of support you need and is determined by a care needs assessment. You may be entitled to local authority funding to help cover the cost of care and housing. To find out more, contact your local authority to receive a free assessment.
Supported living accommodation may be available furnished, part-furnished or unfurnished. Whatever option you choose, we encourage you to make the space your own by bringing your own belongings and decorating it to suit your personal preferences.
If you decide that you no longer want to live in our supported living services, our team will work with you, your family and any other support agencies to ensure that you have the support you need to make a smooth transition into a more suitable living arrangement.
We provide a wide range of support services that include outreach, day support and home care that can be tailored to your needs and wishes.
Should you feel unhappy in your supported living environment, it is important to talk to your support worker or family so that they can help you find a more suitable living arrangement.
