Introducing
Richard Clark
– Head of Operations North West, West Midlands and Wales
Richard set-up Supported Homes in 2006 after a successful career in mental
health nursing. Whilst working as a Care Coordinator in the Community
he became frustrated that services were not meeting people’s needs, or
responding to their aspirations. Supported Homes was born out of Richard’s
belief that the culture of care needed to put the people being supported
at the centre of the care they receive.
Now Supported Homes is part of Eden Futures, Richard’s role will be to build
upon the support model he fostered with Supported Homes, ensuring our
provision of excellent care in high quality accommodation is easily rolled out to
new services so that every individual we work with can reach their full potential.

supported living services.
