Our Services

At Ategi, we support each person as an individual, enabling them to develop their skills and confidence and increase their independence. Take a look at the services we offer.

Shared Lives

Shared Lives is a bit like foster care - but for adults. Shared Lives provides tailored support to those who need this, in a family home. Shared Lives carers support adults with support needs to achieve their goals, and live the way they want to live. Shared Lives support could be during the day, for a short break or the person being supported could even move in, it's flexible.

In our Supported Living service, our lovely staff come out to your home and give you all the support you need to live independently and safely in your home and in the community.

Visiting Support

Our Visiting Support service can support you when you are out and about. We can help you develop your skills and confidence for example with shopping, taking part in leisure activities and socialising.

How can we support you?

At Ategi, we support each person as an individual, enabling them to develop their skills and confidence and increase their independence. People may need support for lots of different reasons, and the type of support they need will vary from person to person.
