A home for life
We’re here to provide vulnerable adults with a home for life – a home where they can live as independently as possible in a safe and supportive environment. We support independent living and encourage all our tenants to make choices and decisions regarding their home – from where they want to live and who they want to live with, to how to decorate and furnish their bedroom. Our properties are regular, non-institutional houses with the look and feel of real homes. Tenants are encouraged to bring their own furnishings and personal belongings.
At Westview Housing , we understand that everyone is different. That’s why Westview Housing is both sensitive and responsive to the individual needs of each and every tenant. In addition to promoting tenant engagement, Westview Housing treats all tenants as equal partners in the selection and maintenance of their homes and monitoring of support. Where possible, we will adapt our properties and tailor our support to better suit the needs of our tenants. If there are no suitable properties available, Westview Housing will look to make further acquisitions in line with the individual’s specific requirements.
At Westview Housing we place an emphasis on you as our tenant – your choices and your aspirations. We are dedicated to supporting your individual development and furthering your independence in the tasks of daily living. We offer our tenants a safe environment where they can exercise their independence and live a happy and fruitful life within their local community. We work closely with care providers to help our tenants maintain their tenancies, improve their well-being and learn to manage day-to-day activities more independently.
