A Vertical Village is a building of self-contained apartments where every member has their own home. You have your own front door, your own kitchen and your own routine.
Support is on site around the clock. A small family team is anchored to a few members, so the people supporting you actually know you. The wider village team is always there.
Shared spaces exist for the times you want company. Nobody has to use them. Social connection is genuinely optional, which is what makes it real.
This is different to the group home model that dominates the sector. In a group home, you share a house with people you did not choose. In a Vertical Village, you have a home of your own inside a community that is always there.
