This follows Salutem’s successful appointment as the care provider, following a competitive process by the council.

Primrose is a four-bed facility, designed to meet the specific needs of young people with social care needs transitioning from children’s and educational services.

Supported living developments like this offer an opportunity for individuals with care and support needs to keep autonomy over their home and the care they receive.

The team at Primrose provides assistance in all life aspects, whether it be personal care, managing a tenancy, employment, or even arranging exciting outings to concerts or theatre performances.

The new addition joins a growing list of similar services offered by Salutem across the UK.

The care provider is committed to creating inclusive environments where its residents have the power to make choices about their lives.

Divisional director of supported living at Salutem, Sally Jobling, said: "Primrose is the latest offer from Salutem in our mission to provide high quality, person-centred supported living services.

"Primrose is another great example of true co-production in action.

"It has enabled four young adults to have the key to their own front door, in a home that has been designed specifically to meet their needs.

"Salutem is privileged to offer care and support to the individuals as they continue to work towards greater independence.

"By holding their own tenancy, they are empowered to make decisions about their own lives, whilst receiving support from Salutem to achieve personal goals."

Commissioner at the council, Adam Jones, said: "Worcestershire County Council has a policy of developing high quality supported living services for young adults with learning disabilities and Primrose is another great example of our commitment to citizens of Worcestershire.

"The development of Primrose will enable four people who have completed their education to continue to develop their independence with support from Salutem, who have been appointed as the care provider, following a tender process."
