About Royal Mencap Society - 32 Kings Lane
32 Kings Lane, part of the Royal Mencap Society, is a small residential home in Huntingdon supporting adults with a learning disability or autism. Being small is the point: the household can be shaped around the people who live in it rather than around a routine that suits an organisation. Support here is individual. It can include help with personal care, medication, cooking, laundry, managing money and getting to appointments, and it covers the things that make a week worth having: seeing people, going out, keeping up an interest, being useful, having plans of your own. We communicate in whatever way suits each person, and a routine that can be relied upon matters greatly to most of the people we support. We give people the time to do things themselves even when stepping in would be quicker, and where somebody wants more independence support is planned to withdraw gradually as they grow into it. Respite stays are available as well, giving family carers a real break and letting somebody get used to the house before anything permanent is discussed. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and visit and meet the people who live here.
