Finding the right accommodation for my clients is always a top priority. Edenbridge Living has consistently provided homes that not only meet but exceed the client's needs. Their attention to detail in making the homes light, bright and comfortable for all, truly makes a difference in the lives of the people I work with.

Support Coordinator

Moving into an Edenbridge Living home is a life-changing experience for my brother, who has an intellectual disability. The 1-bedroom villa gives him the independence he craved but still with support available and friends living next door. The Edenbridge team's dedication to their residents' comfort is evident in every detail of their homes.

As a support coordinator, my primary concern is to find accommodation that not only ensures the safety and comfort of my clients but also enriches their lives. Edenbridge Living has been a remarkable partner in this regard. It's a relief to know that such a dedicated provider is just a call away.
