Diverse Services Limited is the West London provider rebuilding the standard of mental-health supported living. Sixteen homes across four boroughs. Every resident in their own ensuite room with a kitchenette in the room, in homes with shared kitchen and lounge facilities. Self-contained flats with full built-in kitchens at our Rosewood House move-on property. A psychology team, a nutritionist, and a keyworker who knows them by name, all on staff. A CQC-registered service open at Foxglove, with more to follow. Founded in 2022 to do what most of the sector still doesn't.
For families: looking on someone's behalf? Start at Residents & Families.
Most supported living in the UK is a bedroom in a shared house, with a support worker who visits twice a week and a manager you've never met. Diverse Services Limited was built the other way around. Here's what's different the moment you walk in.
Every resident has their own ensuite bedroom with a kitchenette in the room, plus a shared kitchen and lounge to be social when they want to be. Our Rosewood House in Hounslow is the exception: fully self-contained flats with their own built-in kitchen, designed as the move-on property within the cluster.
Psychology Lead, Assistant Psychologists, Nutritionist, and Senior Activities Coordinator all sit on our staff. We pay for them out of our own income, not by adding line items to placement fees. Higher quality at sustainable cost is a choice, and it's the choice we make.
Submit a referral on this site and get a written assessment outcome inside a day, with clear reasoning whether the answer is yes or no. The Managing Director, Sukhbir Singh, takes commissioner calls personally.
Foxglove (Hammersmith) is our CQC-registered women's service. Two further CQC-registered services open in 2026: a forensic male service in Hammersmith and a high-supported male service in Hillingdon. Regulated, accountable, and visible.
Whether you're a commissioner placing a service user, a professional managing a discharge, or a family member looking on someone's behalf, here's where to start.

Our Psychology Lead, our Assistant Psychologists, our Nutritionist, our Senior Activities Coordinator. None of them are billed to commissioners as add-ons. They sit on staff because we believe a real supported-living service has to include them as standard.
It is why our weekly programme has a proper structure, not a noticeboard. It is why our support plans are co-produced and reviewed monthly, not photocopied. It is why we think out of the box for service users, when the sector keeps doing the same thing. Higher quality at sustainable cost is a choice, and we make it every day.
A good placement is one a service user is ready to leave. We design every part of the service toward independence, and we measure ourselves by how often people move on, not by how long they stay.
In fifteen of our sixteen homes, every resident has their own ensuite bedroom with a kitchenette in the room. Shared kitchen and lounge let them be social when they choose. Rosewood House in Hounslow is the dedicated move-on property: fully self-contained flats with built-in kitchens for residents ready to live independently.
High support, medium support, low support, floating support. We adjust the level around the service user, keeping the same keyworker where possible. The next step is always less, never more, unless a clinical setback makes it necessary.
Our Activities Coordinator runs cooking, budgeting, CV-writing, travel training, and benefits sessions every week. Our Nutritionist runs proper food and gut-health education. Our Psychology team supports the move from dependence to confidence.
We are investing in our own future independent-living service, designed and built by Diverse Services Limited. Self-contained flats for residents ready to step out of supported living, with the safety net of our team still there in the background. A move-on option built by the provider, not bolted on from elsewhere.
Our offer is structured as a four-step ladder. Commissioners place at the right intensity, then step service users up or down without disrupting their keyworker, their community, or their progress.
24-hour awake staff, on-call manager, full MDT input. For serious mental illness, dual diagnosis, post-discharge stabilisation.
09:00–17:00 daytime support. A step down where structured weekday cover remains essential but overnight is no longer indicated.
Light-touch daytime support for service users with established stability, working toward independent tenancy.
Outreach to those who have moved into independent tenancies. Preserves the keyworker relationship, no cliff-edge.
