Applying to Live at Crossways Community

We can only accept applications which are initiated and supported by a Social Services (or Community Mental Health Team) Care Manager. This is so that they can support an applicant through the process and provide independent advice. So as to not cause unnecessary disappointment, if you wish to apply for yourself or for a relative/friend, please discuss this with your care manager before contacting Crossways.
