Facilities Management for Supported Living Schemes
Supported living and move-on housing schemes are vital in helping vulnerable individuals transition to independent living. These programs often serve those recovering from homelessness, domestic violence, mental health challenges, and other difficult circumstances.
Our Facilities Management team is dedicated to ensuring these environments are not only safe and accessible but also well-maintained and well-decorated. We work closely with you to create spaces that foster security and comfort, providing the robust infrastructure needed to support residents on their journey to independence.
By partnering with us, housing providers can focus on delivering the support residents need, while we take care of the facilities that make it all possible.
We can help create a space that:
- Meets the National Minimum Care Standards Act 2001
- Makes residents feel safe
- Encourages building social skills, such as cooking, learning and exercising
- Is well-maintained and taken care of, and gives a high quality of living standard
- Looks and feels like home
Our Supported Living Services
Supported Living accommodation is person-centered, creating a space for residents to thrive and learn how to live independently, usually after difficult circumstances. At Global Facilities, we understand the importance of ensuring these spaces are fit-for-purpose and can encourage residents to life fulfilling lives.
From repairs contracts through to refurbishments, our expert Facilities Management team are here to help. Here is just a handful of what we can provide for your Supported Living Scheme…
When residents move on, we cover all aspects of ensuring the accommodation is ready for new occupancy. This can include any repairs, redecoration or providing and installing new furniture.
In Supported Housing, we know that things don't just happen between 9-5. We are contracted to work with a number of large housing providers on their out-of-hours services, such as Plumbing and Electrical faults, Locksmiths, and any other emergencies as necessary.
Creating an environment where residents can truly thrive is essential. Whether it's installing a new kitchen to support the development of cooking skills, enhancing bedrooms to be brighter and more comfortable, or ensuring the social spaces are accessible for all disabilities, we’re here to help redesign and refurbish these spaces to meet their unique needs.
The importance of ensuring your accommodation is fire safe is paramount, especially when there are vulnerable residents. The law now requires the common parts of all multi-occupancy residential buildings over 11m in height to have quarterly fire door checks. Our team are highly qualified to inspect your doors and can carry out all works to ensure they're compliant with the law. For more information on this, head to our Fire Door Inspection page.

About Us
Since its founding in 2009, Global Facilities has proven itself as an industry-leading facilities management company – outsourcing services in a wide range of industries. These include building maintenance, commercial cleaning and IT services, to name a few.
We pride ourselves on being connected with some of the highest-rated professionals in these industries, and as a result have become recognised as one of the UK’s go-to facility management companies.
We’re also proud to be a part of the award-winning Global Group – an organisation founded to not only help workplaces save on facility costs, but to help them go more eco-friendly.
At a time when 250 million tonnes worth of harmful waste and emissions are created by workplace environments on a yearly basis, we felt that it was our mission to help reduce this with each business we work with – even by using small simple methods, such as providing eco-friendly office supplies or providing LED lighting.
Whatever you require, we’re here to help you get what you need for your business.

Supported Living is a type of housing arrangement designed to help individuals with various needs, such as disabilities, mental health challenges, or those recovering from difficult life circumstances such as homelessness, live more independently. It typically involves providing residents with their own living space, such as an apartment or shared house, while also offering support services tailored to their specific needs.
The support provided can include assistance with daily activities like cooking, cleaning, and personal care, as well as help with managing finances, accessing healthcare, and developing life skills. The level of support can vary depending on the individual's needs, ranging from occasional visits by a support worker to more intensive, round-the-clock assistance.
The goal of supported living is to create a safe, comfortable environment that empowers residents to live as independently as possible while ensuring they have access to the care and support they need.
Having a Facilities Management company in a Supported Living scheme is essential for ensuring safety, compliance, and a well-maintained environment. FM companies handle everything from regular maintenance and repairs to making spaces accessible for residents with disabilities. They ensure that the facility meets legal standards, operates efficiently, and provides a comfortable, supportive atmosphere, all of which are vital for the well-being and independence of the residents.
