About Mencap South Notts Services

We are Mencap in south Nottinghamshire, providing support to people in their own homes across the area. We work alongside adults who have a learning disability and autistic adults, including younger adults, and our starting point is that support should widen what someone can do rather than take it over. Much of our work is about ordinary life. We support people to manage their own home, to cook, to shop, to handle appointments and correspondence, to take part in activities they enjoy and to keep up relationships that matter to them. Where personal care is needed we provide it with proper regard for privacy and dignity. Where someone wants to take on more for themselves, we step back at their pace and stay available. We plan support with the person, in their words, and we involve families and other professionals when the person wants that. Communication is central to the work, so we take time to learn how each person expresses preferences and discomfort, and we adapt rather than expecting them to. Our staff are trained for the people they support and are properly supervised. We do not yet hold an overall rating from the Care Quality Commission for this support. We are regulated by them and are building the planning, training and oversight that a good rating properly requires.
