Apartments for those with specialist support needs

For many people with disabilities they are dependent on in home care or facilities that are specially equipped to deal with their needs. This means, for many, that they never get to live on their own, or obtain the sort of independence many other people get to experience.

I have this challenge

the problem

Many people with disabilities would be fully capable of living on their own with just a little assistance. Creating living spaces that use technology to monitor the health and safety of the tenant, and providing remote or onsite support if necessary, could help thousands of people transition to a life of independence never before thought possible.

ideas

Moorgate Mill represents a new approach to help people with learning disabilities and complex behaviours in supported living environments. Officially opened in July 2015, it's an award-winning development consisting of 20 apartments adapted with integrated technologies to meet the needs of residents with complex needs.
