National Care Group Expands Supported Living Services in the Midlands

West Northamptonshire Council has selected National Care Group to operate a new supported living service for adults with complex needs. The development is already welcoming tenants and directly addresses the local demand for high-quality, person-centred support.

After successfully winning a competitive tender with the local authority, the adult social care provider will support up to 15 individuals on their personalised support plans. Thirty new jobs have also been created, with social care professionals recruited locally.

The expansion of National Care Group’s provision in Northamptonshire forms part of its growth strategy in the Midlands. With services located across England and Wales, the new scheme will be the 15th supported accommodation service National Care Group operates in Northamptonshire, with more than 280 people currently supported across the Midlands.

Belinda Robinson, Director of Development at National Care Group, said:
“We are proud to be collaborating with West Northamptonshire Council to deliver person-centred support at this wonderful new service, expanding our provisions in the region. Our established partnership, alongside our network of supported accommodation already in the area, enables us to provide the highest-quality support that meets local needs.

“Ensuring that people lead rich and fulfilling lives within their community is at the heart of what we do. As part of our community integration approach, we invited neighbours to visit the new development and learn more about the support we provide. It was a pleasure for our dedicated, local team to meet several neighbouring families. With doors now open, we’re excited to see tenants settle into their new homes and become active members of the community.”

The new, modern accommodation has been developed by Specialist Supported Housing, with partnerships between the local authority West Northamptonshire Council, adult social care provider National Care Group, local commissioners and housing provider reducing the need for out-of-area placements and enabling people to live independently close to relatives.

Cllr Laura Couse, Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care and Public Health at West Northamptonshire Council, said:
“This new supported living development in Moulton is a fantastic example of how we’re working in partnership to deliver high-quality, person-centred care that meets the needs of our residents. This facility offers a space where people with complex needs can live independently, feel safe, and be part of their community. We’re proud to see local jobs created and to welcome National Care Group’s continued investment in West Northamptonshire. This is a positive step forward in ensuring everyone has the opportunity to thrive close to family, friends, and familiar surroundings.”
