From Challenges to Change: The Future of Supported Living with Optimo Care Group

Creating Brighter Futures with Lasting Value

At Optimo Care Group, we believe that every individual deserves the opportunity to live with dignity, stability, and independence. Across the UK, we work alongside services like My Life Choice , Stepping Stones Services , Abbeycare and CFT Care to deliver sustainable supported living solutions that transform lives and communities.

For potential investors, this commitment to innovation and collaboration represents more than just a mission - it’s a scalable, impactful opportunity in a growing care sector. With demand for supported living increasing, we ensure our services are positioned to deliver measurable social impact alongside sustainable financial returns.

Addressing a Growing Market Need

The UK faces a rising demand for supported living solutions due to demographic changes and a focus on community-based care. For individuals with learning disabilities and autism, transitioning from hospital settings to thriving community environments is essential, yet challenging.

Key Barriers Include:

• Housing Shortages: The lack of suitable, adaptable housing prevents timely transitions.
• Community Resistance: Misunderstandings and stigma can hinder integration efforts.
• Trauma Recovery: Many individuals require significant emotional and social support after years in secure hospital settings.

As Jane Byford , Head of Transforming Care Commissioning (Consultant), shared on Lisa Brown 's The Supported Living Property Podcast:

“The right property and support system make all the difference. Without them, many individuals remain in hospital environments for years, unable to move forward.”

Empowering Change Through Collaboration

At Optimo Care Group, we know that collaboration is key to creating impactful and sustainable solutions.

Our Key Partnerships Include:

• NHS HOPES Teams: Providing critical expertise to address trauma and ensure smooth transitions into community living.
• Housing Providers: Securing and adapting properties tailored to individuals’ needs, ensuring stability and longevity.
• Local Authorities: Working closely to align funding and support with care models that deliver results.

For investors, these partnerships demonstrate Optimo’s ability to leverage resources, reduce risk, and build scalable models that meet the unique needs of the care sector.

Stories of Transformation and Stability

Real-life success stories show the tangible impact of Optimo’s work, inspiring confidence in our mission:

• A Community Embraces Inclusion: One young man, after years in a secure hospital, transitioned into his own adapted home. His neighbourhood greeted him with balloons and Makaton signs, symbolising a powerful example of community support and inclusion.
• Thriving in Personalised Spaces: Another individual, previously told they would never leave a secure hospital, now lives independently in a bungalow designed to meet their specific needs. With stability and care, they’ve flourished as part of their local community.

These stories highlight the value of investing in personalised, sustainable housing solutions that change lives - and ensure long-term stability.
