Sycamore House is an independent supported living service in Ashington, Northumberland, managed by Time to Care Specialist Support Services. The service offers modern single-person apartments designed to help people live as independently as possible while receiving tailored, person-centred support.

Purpose-built around independence, privacy and choice, Sycamore House provides a supportive environment where each person has their own front door and a care package shaped around their individual needs, goals and daily routines.

The development includes ten single-person apartments, each completed to a high standard. The apartments support Time to Care’s philosophy that every client should have their own home, their own front door and the opportunity to build daily living skills with the right level of support around them.

Sycamore House can consider referrals for people with a range of presentations, including learning disabilities, mental ill health, neurodiversity and physical disabilities. Each referral is assessed and reviewed by the referral panel to confirm whether the service can safely and effectively meet the person’s needs.
The staff team brings a broad range of skills and experience, enabling support to be adapted around each individual. Staff are trained across relevant disciplines, and where a person has a specific support requirement, their care team can receive additional training to meet that need appropriately.
