Summary of report content

Healthwatch Luton undertook an Enter and View visit to 135 Tennyson Road, operated by Advanced Housing, on 15 January 2026. The service provides supported living accommodation for up to four adults with learning disabilities. On the day of the visit, four residents were living at the property. 

The atmosphere within the home was calm and welcoming. The environment was observed to be clean, well maintained and comfortably furnished. Residents appeared relaxed within the space and engaged positively with staff. 

Feedback from both residents and staff was generally positive. Residents described staff as supportive and approachable, and interactions observed during the visit were respectful and responsive. Staff demonstrated awareness of residents’ needs and confirmed that care plans are reviewed regularly. 

Residents reported satisfaction with the support they receive, including assistance with daily living, opportunities to go out into the community, and access to food and activities within the home. One resident described enjoying shopping trips and spending time listening to music or watching television in their room. 

Staff reported that staffing levels are usually sufficient, although at times the complexity of residents’ needs can increase pressures during certain shifts. Training opportunities were described as available, and safeguarding procedures were understood. No safeguarding concerns were identified during the visit. 

Overall, 135 Tennyson Road presented as a small, person-centred supported living environment where residents are supported to maintain independence within a homely setting
