From the Ground Up

The last time we visited was last March, almost 4 months ago. It was nothing but soil and the first floor, literally. Fast forward to today, and now the scheme has made massive progress in its development. In this post, we will be going over what has been going on in the past few months and what we can expect to see this summer ☀️

So, what has been going on since our last visit?

Our new supported living scheme is well on its way to becoming a beacon of quality housing and compassionate care in Rochdale. Over the past few months, the site has seen significant progress. The brickwork is advancing rapidly, with each layer bringing us closer to providing accessible and safe homes for future tenants.

This milestone is not just about bricks and mortar; it’s about building a space where individuals can thrive in a community designed around their needs.

Why this matters

This development is tailored specifically for those who require supported living, offering a blend of privacy, autonomy, and round-the-clock support where needed. Our mission is to ensure tenants feel safe, empowered, and respected, and Starkey Street will reflect this vision from the inside out.

By focusing on thoughtful design, accessibility, and durability, this scheme will:

  • Provide fully accessible, self-contained flats

  • Include shared spaces for social connection

  • Offer tailored support in a safe and structured environment

Meeting the Growing Demand for Supported Living in Rochdale

With the increasing demand for high-quality supported living in Rochdale, Starkey Street aims to address a growing need for accessible housing options for people with disabilities, learning difficulties, and complex support requirements.

Our team continues to work closely with contractors, local authorities, and support providers to ensure every detail of the build meets the highest standards.

We’ll continue to document and share updates on the build, including behind-the-scenes photos and future video footage. As the supported living scheme nears its next phase, we remain committed to transparency, collaboration, and creating spaces where independence isn’t just supported—it’s celebrated.

Conclusion

Each brick laid at Starkey Street is a step toward a more inclusive future. We believe everyone deserves a place to call home, and this development will soon be just that for many.

Electrical Safety

We use electricity every day in our home and we sometimes forget how dangerous it can be. Here are some tips to improve safety around your home, it is a good idea to check for these common faults/dangers:

  • Check for frayed or damaged leads
  • Tuck leads safely out of the way and keep them neat and tidy
  • If you have any cracked plugs, sockets and switches report them to us straight away
  • When using bulbs only use ones at or below the maximum wattage
  • Remember water and electricity do not mix – do not unplug or plug things in with wet hands, be careful if you spill water near or over appliances
  • Don’t overload sockets, too many plugs in one socket can be dangerous, overheat and cause fire

If you have any concerns about any of your electric or electrical appliances, please contact us on 01706 759330 or 01706 753678
