West Northamptonshire Council (WNC) refers to long-term care as Specialist Support for Younger Adults With Disabilities.

  • a physical disability
  • a learning disability
  • autism (ASD)
  • and/or a mental health condition

Specialist Support for Younger Adults is delivered in the community. It's also delivered within a supported living service at Eleanor Lodge.

Long-Term Care at Home

  • personal care (washing, dressing, bathing)
  • getting dressed and undressed
  • getting into and out of bed
  • toileting and promoting continence
  • meal preparation
  • moving safely around your home
  • support with shopping
  • support during holidays
  • budgeting, finance management and tenancy support
  • medication management
  • accessing education and work opportunities (paid or unpaid)
  • household duties
  • accessing social activities

Supported Living – Eleanor Lodge

If you have been assessed as also requiring accommodation at Eleanor Lodge, the team will explain:

  • what happens after the visit
  • how they will match your preferences to the right shared flat

This will start with a 'tea visit' to meet others living in the shared accommodation.

Once it is agreed that you are happy to move into the shared accommodation, the team will:

  • link with the landlord to go through the tenancy process
  • support you to complete all relevant paperwork
