Stay independent.
Stay confident.
Stay in control.
Stride Living is an independence support service in West Berkshire — founded on NHS experience, helping you maintain your quality of life on your own terms.
Preventative support.
Professional standards.
Personal approach.
Stride Living sits in the gap where NHS rehabilitation ends — for people who want active, ongoing support to get back to themselves.
Founded by two NHS Senior Therapy Assistants, we deliver structured, goal-focused support designed to maintain independence, rebuild confidence and reduce the risk of deterioration. Our approach is grounded in NHS experience, but personal in its delivery — built entirely around the individual.
For Individuals
You're managing — but you're aware things are shifting.
Stride Living provides structured, professional support to help you stay active, independent and in control of your life.
For Families
You want the best for someone you love. Stride Living provides professional, consistent support grounded in NHS experience — giving families genuine confidence in the quality of help their loved one receives.
For Clinicians and referrers
Stride Living offers a trusted, non-regulated pathway for patients who would benefit from structured preventative support. Founded by NHS Senior Therapy Assistants — we understand the pathway from the inside.
Founded on NHS experience. Focused on you.

What sets Stride Living apart
-
Grounded in NHS expertise
Our founders are NHS Senior Therapy Assistants. That background shapes how we assess, plan and deliver support — giving individuals, families and referrers genuine confidence in our service.
-
Structured and goal-focused
Every person we support has a clear, personalised plan. We set goals, track progress and adapt our approach — because good support should make a measurable difference to your life.
-
Independence-led, not care-led
Stride Living is not a care agency. We work to build and maintain independence — supporting people to do more, not doing more for them.
