About Little Acorns
Little Acorns provides residential care and supported living for adults with complex needs, including mental health needs and other support requirements. Its service is designed around stable homes, trusted relationships and practical help that changes with the person’s circumstances.
The residential service offers 24-hour support, while supported living helps people gain greater independence with assistance in areas of everyday life where it is needed. Specialist Care also works with people whose histories may include long hospital admissions, placement breakdowns, forensic backgrounds or substance misuse. The organisation’s approach is to develop support around the individual, promoting dignity, choice, wellbeing and confidence rather than expecting everyone to fit one standard package.
