ELSI Supported Living Service
ELSI is a care provider that offers support for adults with learning disabilities. We are registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC), allowing us to provide personal care as a regulated activity as defined in the 2008 Health and Social Care Act Regulations 2014.
Tenancies and Support
All individuals are issued with a tenancy agreement which is separate to the support they receive. The support is not tied to the accommodation and so the person can move to another home and/or to another service provider if they wish to.
