Working together with Active Pathways Limited

Over £2 million has been invested on rebuilding the property into 13 one-bed luxury apartments for people requiring ongoing support with their own tenancies. The new supported living apartments are set in large grounds in the heart of Chorley, Lancashire.

Each of these brand-new apartments are not only self-contained but also generously spacious, ensuring the utmost comfort for all tenants. The design is considerate of a wide array of needs, incorporating various features such as accessible spaces for those requiring additional mobility support, as well as direct access to outdoor spaces.

The apartments incorporate the latest in assisted technology so people can maintain independence and receive support when they need it. Video door entry systems, provide an extra layer of security for all tenants. Plus, the apartments are technology enabled,

including handy USB ports throughout each apartment allowing for the seamless integration of the latest smart home features, facilitating a living experience that is both modern and convenient.

The service offers communal areas for tenants to socialise, participate in group activities if they wish, along with additional benefits of gardens and courtyard. Some apartments have the benefit of private outside space, or patio doors offering living spaces which are truly special.

An enhanced support offer enables Active Pathways to support individuals with mental health diagnoses, a learning disability and/or autism.

As part of the Active Pathways local care pathway, they utilise the specialist resources of a wider clinical team. This pathway offers an enhanced and unique approach by offering the optional clinical expertise of Active Pathways’ in-house MDT, including Occupational Therapy and Psychology.
