These 11 adults currently live in a registered care facility owned and managed by The Nugent Care Society. Registered care no longer meets their housing need or aspirations, as Liverpool Social Services has confirmed they are capable of independent living. Their housing and support needs will be best met by specifically designed and adapted self-contained accommodation, within a safe environment where they can live independently but with varying level of support available on site.
