Some supported accommodation schemes have 24 hour support, meaning staff sleep in overnight, whereas others have staff available during the day, with an ‘oncall’ service available off site. You would be placed into one that best meets your need, and with your agreement. Examples of supported accommodation providers in Torbay are the Foyer and Young Devon. You contribute towards the costs of the supported accommodation as you would with any other accommodation.

You may also be able to access supported accommodation via Adult Services and/or the Community Mental Health Team. You will have a Care Act assessment to identify your needs to access this type of accommodation.
