Supported Living and move-on housing schemes are vital for helping people who need extra support, whether they’re transitioning from homelessness, recovering from difficult situations, or dealing with mental health challenges. These homes provide a safe, stable environment where residents can work towards independence.

At Global Facilities, we understand the unique needs of these housing schemes and are here to help keep them running smoothly. Along with our facilities management services, we also provide essential home items that make a house feel like a home. Here’s how we can support your housing scheme:

1. Custom Maintenance Services

Every housing scheme has its own specific needs, and we offer tailored maintenance services to meet those needs. This includes regular inspections, quick repairs, and ongoing upkeep of the buildings and grounds. We understand that a well-maintained environment is crucial for the safety and comfort of residents, so we prioritise addressing any issues quickly and efficiently.

2. Health and Safety

Safety is a top priority in supported housing, where residents may be more vulnerable. Our team ensures that all facilities meet strict health and safety standards, including regular fire safety checks, electrical testing, and making sure all areas are free from hazards. We also conduct regular audits to ensure ongoing compliance with legal requirements.

3. Security Services

Feeling safe is essential for residents to thrive. We offer a range of security solutions, including 24/7 monitoring, access control systems, and on-site security personnel if needed. These measures help create a secure environment where residents can feel protected and at ease.

4. Home Essentials: Mattresses, Bedding, Kitchen Packs, and More

A key part of our service is providing the essential items that make a house feel like a home. We supply high-quality mattresses, bedding, and kitchen packs that include all the basics residents need to settle in comfortably. We also provide furnishings such as sofas, tables, and storage solutions, ensuring that each living space is functional, comfortable, and welcoming. These essentials are carefully chosen to meet the needs of residents and help create a positive, homely environment from day one.

5. Cleaning and Hygiene

Maintaining a clean and hygienic environment is crucial for the health and well-being of residents. Our cleaning services are tailored to the needs of supported housing schemes, focusing on high-traffic areas, communal spaces, and individual living units. We use eco-friendly cleaning products to ensure a safe, sanitary environment without compromising on quality.

6. Responsive Service

We know that supported housing staff and residents may need extra assistance, and our customer service team is trained to be caring and responsive. We handle all requests and concerns quickly and with empathy, working closely with housing managers to provide solutions that meet the unique challenges they face.

7. Help with Transitions

As residents move from supported housing to more independent living, we’re here to help with the transition. When someone moves out, we ensure the accommodation is ready for new occupancy, provide any necessary maintenance services, as well as repairs and redecorations to create a comfortable and safe living environment. We also supply home essentials for their new space, helping them settle in smoothly and confidently.

At Global Facilities, we recognise the importance of supported and move-on housing schemes in helping people move towards independence. Our comprehensive facilities management services, combined with our essential home items like mattresses, bedding, and kitchen packs, are designed to create safe, comfortable, and well-maintained environments. By partnering with us, housing providers can focus on delivering the support residents need, while we take care of the facilities and essentials that make these homes truly welcoming.
