supported living

Our population is growing rapidly, we are living longer the demand for flexible housing and care accommodation has never been greater.

Wates have already provided more than 2,200 living spaces across 30 projects in the past eight years; we are emerging as the leading player in the delivery of supported living projects in both the private and public sectors.

  • We believe in improving the quality of life by providing homes that give independence and yet encourage active and healthy living
  • We want to make a difference to the country’s most vulnerable groups
  • To deliver the kind of success that we have achieved so far, we work hard to understand issues that affect residents, carers and the local community
  • We create and deliver high quality, competitive and sustainable solutions by  working with the best customers, specialists, designers and suppliers
