Eligibility & Referrals

Women Ready to Find
Safety & Start Over

We support women who have been through some of life's hardest experiences. If you are wondering whether we can help — you are likely in exactly the right place.

Women Facing These Challenges

Hope & Comfort Health Care is here for women navigating some of life's most difficult circumstances. You do not need to have it all figured out to reach out.

Escaping domestic abuse or coercive control
Experiencing emotional or mental exhaustion
Facing homelessness or housing instability
Financially vulnerable or on Universal Credit
Isolated with limited support networks
Recovering from trauma or crisis situations
Seeking a safe and supportive environment

Domestic Abuse Survivors

Women who are escaping physical, emotional, psychological, or financial abuse — including those experiencing coercive control — are at the heart of who we serve.

We understand that leaving is rarely a single moment. We support women at whatever stage of that journey they are at.

Women in Emotional Crisis

Mental exhaustion, grief, burnout, and emotional collapse are real crises. Women who feel they simply cannot continue as they are often benefit enormously from a period of safe, supported accommodation.

You do not need to be in danger to deserve support.

Facing Homelessness

Women experiencing or at risk of homelessness — whether due to relationship breakdown, financial hardship, or housing instability — can access safe accommodation and practical support to move forward.

Stable housing is the foundation of everything else. We provide it.

Who Can Apply
for Our Support?

We welcome referrals and self-referrals from women who meet the criteria below. If you are uncertain, please reach out — we would rather have a conversation than have someone who needs help not receive it.

Not Sure If You Qualify?

Please contact us anyway. Our team will have a confidential, no-pressure conversation to explore how we might be able to help — or signpost you to the right place if we cannot.
