searching for a suitable residential placement for my daughter

I have been searching for a suitable residential placement for my daughter who is 35 yrs old. I would like a community type environment that will support Joanna's needs, particularly communication. She has no speech but is quite bright and previously used a Dynavox. I'd appreciate any feedback. We currently live in Chester where my daughter is is supported living.

Hi @Dryden41, welcome to the community!
You can use the link above provided by Steve to search for residential services around the country: this may be a good place to start and to get an idea of what's available.
Let us know how you get on and if you have any further questions! -
Thanks Pippa, the facilities in Cheshire are not suitable as they are not in a position to help Jo to increase her communication. The only facility that suits all of her needs is Upper Springland in Scone, Perthshire, Scotland. It's run bt Capability Scotland but I wanted to ensure I hadn't missed a similar facility in England.
