Mencap - Supported Living Services

Overview

People take choosing where to live and who to live with for granted - we don't, we understand that having these choices makes you feel in control of your life.
We support people with a learning disability to live how and where they choose in our supported living services.
A place of your own
We work together with social and private landlords to find a home that meets your needs. Some of our supported living services are purpose-built or have been adapted and use technology that helps people to live as independently as possible.
For many people who want to live independently, getting the right care and support is just as important as finding the right home.
We have been supporting people for years, so we know what quality support looks like.
We can provide personal support to help you with things like getting dressed. We can also help you around the home, such as cooking a meal. And if you would like support to go out in the community or to do your favourite thing, we can help you to with that too.
Support is available from a couple of hours a week to 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Quality and experience
Our services meet or exceed the standards set by the Care Quality Commission and the Social Services Inspectorate Wales.
We also have our own quality standards, What Matters Most, which help us support people in the best possible way. These standards have been developed to cover the things that people have told us are important to them.
We have supported many people to move from residential care or family homes into their own place or a house shared with friends.
How to get the support you need
Contact the Learning Disability Helpline for advice and information about what support we can offer you.
Or why not take a look at our online community? This is a place for parents and family carers of people with a learning disability to share experiences, advice and support.
