Our Journey
Our journey started with the company’s director and founder, who having lived in social housing, and worked in both, supported living and domiciliary care settings, saw the need for not only better quality care and support, but access to affordable accommodation to suit a variety of needs. With a background in care spanning over 20 years, including recruiting clinical and non-clinical staff they were inspired to improve the systems already in place regarding housing providers, and how people can be better supported to access and manage their homes and communities. They want to give the meaning of community rejuvenation and rebirth to give it a more positive, inclusive and inspiring meaning. Betterment Homes CIC foster a quality, person-centered approach to accommodation, support and management that will trailblaze and redefine the private and social housing industry.
