    Supported Living Barrow-in-Furness

    Glen Garth House in Cumbria is a 24/7 supported living service for people living with a mental health diagnosis, learning disability or autism.

    Glen Garth House is in Barrow-in-Furness, a coastal and historic part of Cumbria. Located close to the centre of Barrow, there is easy access to shops, local amenities and public transport. The property’s traditional Edwardian architecture has been conserved whilst renovating the property which now consists of 17 bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom and ample communal spaces.

    As with all of our services, the people we support benefit from ‘The Northern Healthcare model of supported living’, with 24/7 support onsite and clinical input from our multi-disciplinary team.

    The team provide 24/7 support for people with a variety of mental health conditions. The people we support come to us from a number of different pathways; they may need greater ‘step down’ support following a period in an acute hospital or forensic service. Our experienced multi-disciplinary team help individuals to achieve their next steps, from simple tasks such as cooking and budgeting to longer-term goals such as gaining employment.
