- High quality independent living accommodation
- Support to stabilise health and well-being

The Core Values
That Drive Our Work
Goddess Living Creative Care Services Aims to Provide High-Quality, Person Centred Support That Affords People The Best Possible Quality Of Life.
People Can Recover
People can and do recover from mental ill health and lifestyle related issues with appropriate ongoing treatment and support, in their own way and live a meaningful life.
The Right To Exercise Control And Choice
We believe that everyone should have the right to access the right support and housing for their needs and exercise control and choice of how their housing, health and social care is received.
Make Decisions About Their Health
Everyone has the right to have their dignity as a human recognised and promoted and the right to be respected and be equal partners in decisions about their health and exercise real choice.
Our Goddess support staff work alongside the customer, to identify and remove barriers causing extended stays in hospital and prevent both short and long term readmission.
Our packages of care are designed for women to recover and stay well and live as independently as possible within our homes to ensure independence can be managed in the long term. We also ensure the best network of health, social care and informal support is in place for our customers in the community.
We are staffed by a service manager and support staff who not only help women at the point of crisis, but reduce social isolation and support them to maintain their mental health.
