About Mencap - Surrey and Sussex Supported Living
We provide supported living across Surrey and Sussex for adults with learning disabilities and autistic people, working with younger adults and with older people who need support at home. Supported living means the house or flat belongs to the person, not to us. We come in to help with whatever makes living there possible, and the aim is always for somebody to run their own life as far as they are able to. In practice that means the unglamorous things: managing a tenancy, dealing with letters and bills, handling money, shopping and cooking, keeping appointments, getting to work, college or a day somewhere they enjoy, and having staff alongside when something feels beyond facing alone. We start by asking what a person wants their life to look like rather than arriving with a plan. Where someone has grown older in their own home, we adjust what we provide, taking on more help with personal care and health as it is needed, rather than treating a move as the obvious answer. Consistency of staff matters a great deal in this work, particularly for autistic people, so we keep our teams as settled as we can and try not to change arrangements without warning and explanation. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. If you are looking for support of this kind for yourself or a member of your family, please get in touch and we will be honest about what we can offer.
