Ascend Support (Ealing)

Ascend Support offers personalised supported living and community support services for people with learning disabilities, autism, or other complex needs across the UK. Our focus is on providing independence and quality of life with specialised, person-centred support.

We support people with learning disabilities, autism, and/or complex needs, through our core services which includes outreach.

Supported Living is a service designed to help people with various needs maintain their independence by receiving support in their homes. Individuals are supported in their homes, have their tenancy agreements and pay bills and living expenses. This may include full or partial set-up and damage repair. Exact details may vary by region. To be able to afford these, the person may be entitled to a wide range of benefits and subsidies. For those who live alone, there may also be a private entrance to their home.

The provision of support does not depend on the provision of housing (and vice versa). So, if their support provider changes, it may not affect their tenancy.
The person has a rent guarantee according to the rental contract. Eviction can only be enforced in certain circumstances, usually by court order. 

Our support model combines active support with positive behaviour approaches and structured engagement with professionals from the local community. With a focus on the individual, our highly trained support staff will regularly review outcomes with the client, behaviour support and multi-disciplinary professionals. Understanding what is important to each person we support underpins our path to achieving realistic outcomes with support from commissioning partners, external professionals, advocates, other support workers, friends, and family.

Our outreach and community services are designed to support people in their homes, providing assistance to meet their needs and preferences. This includes supporting them in their day-to-day life, such as managing cash, remaining healthy, cooking, being part of the community, or progressing to education. We learn about each person’s interests, needs and preferences and that we can assist them in attaining their objectives and goals.
