Adult Referrals

Make a Referral

Arranging the right supported living placement for an adult is an important decision.

We aim to make the process clear, professional and efficient from start to finish.

At Blue Heart Residential, every referral represents a person who needs the right home environment and the right level of support. Our priority is to ensure that any placement we offer is safe, suitable and genuinely able to meet the individual’s needs.

Our referral process is designed to be:

  • Straightforward
  • Transparent
  • Responsive
  • Person-centred
  • Focused on long-term stability and outcomes

From your first enquiry, our team will work closely with you to understand the individual and explore the most appropriate options.

Our Assessment Approach

A Practical and Proportionate Review

When we receive an adult supported living referral, our focus is on making a balanced, realistic assessment – based on safety, compatibility and achievable outcomes.

We carefully consider:

Individual Needs
Understanding daily support requirements, communication preferences, routines and personal goals.

Risk & Support Planning
Reviewing current risks and ensuring they can be safely managed within a supported living setting.

Environment Fit
Identifying the most suitable home, location and community opportunities.

Staffing Model
Making sure the right level of support hours, skills and experience are available.

Pathway & Outcomes
Looking at what meaningful progress looks like for the individual and how support can help them move forward.

We only accept placements when we are confident we can provide appropriate, effective and sustainable support.
