Northern Healthcare has announced the official opening of Saxon House, a new move-on supported living service located at 137 The Rock, Bury, BL9 0ND. Developed in collaboration with Bury Metropolitan Borough Council, this innovative service is designed to help individuals with mental health conditions and/or mild learning difficulties transition from 24/7 supported living or hospital care to greater independence within the community.
Saxon House features 13 modern, fully furnished apartments across four floors. Each apartment offers a private bedroom, living area, kitchen, and bathroom, creating a comfortable and secure environment. The service also includes a shared courtyard and easy access to public transport, ensuring accessibility and convenience for individuals.
“We are delighted to open Saxon House, an important addition to Bury’s network of support services,” said Alistair Hannah-Briggs, Commercial Director at Northern Healthcare. “Our passionate team is committed to building resilience, supporting recovery, and creating a welcoming community atmosphere that empowers individuals to thrive. We aim to support individuals in achieving their recovery goals and integrating into their communities with confidence. This service represents a key step in addressing mental health support needs locally, and we are proud to work in partnership with Bury Council to bring this vision to life.”
Saxon House is dedicated to empowering individuals in their recovery journey, encouraging independence while minimising the risk of hospital readmissions. Offering extended daytime support, the service helps individuals develop vital life skills, effectively manage their health, and build meaningful social connections.
Saxon House is now welcoming individuals and referrals. This new addition to Bury’s supported living network marks a significant milestone in enhancing mental health recovery services in the region.
