St Andrews Court is a supported housing service for people aged 18 years and above who are living with a mental illness and have low-level needs. It consists of eight self-contained flats with limited courtyard parking and communal garden. The service provides housing related support to people who are at risk of not accessing or sustaining a home because of their mental health, vulnerability and/ or a history of housing related problems. People can stay in the service for up to two years. The aim is to move people on to lead more independent lives in their own accommodation. If residents require additional support that isn’t housing related they will be signposted to appropriate services. Staff are based at the service on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday 9am-5pm.
