Questions families ask
How are people assessed for supported living?
They assess each potential service user individually to decide whether supported living is suitable. The person must be able to stay safe with little supervision and have learned the required independent living skills.
Does each service user have their own bedroom?
Yes. Each service user is given their own bedroom, which they are encouraged to personalise for comfort.
What support does supported living include?
Each supported living service user has a support worker who checks in regularly, monitors agreed weekly goals and helps them get back on track when needed.
Do they provide access to advocacy services?
Yes. Every service user can access advocacy services if needed, and the organisation has links with local advocacy groups and services.
Will supported living residents take part in community activities?
Usually. The organisation considers community involvement important, and most service users take part in community-based activities during the week.
How much does Marvels House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Marvels House for its weekly fee. As a guide, Lewisham council paid on average £1,492 a week for a residential care place for adults aged 18 to 64 in 2024-2025, against £1,883 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
