Homely Safety
at Project Upton
Key Stakeholders
Summary
Project Upton was completed for Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board which commissioned a bespoke package of care to meet the resident’s complex health and social care needs. We delivered a bespoke internal and external environment that meets the special needs of the resident and support provider where the resident can live a safe and fulfilled life in the community and give them an element of independence where possible.
