The Service and Its Staff:

Our Supported Living Service is a domiciliary support service, offering supported living flats for adults with learning disabilities and autism. The flats are self-contained and offer 24 hour emotional and daily living support needs.

The Mews and Wilton Court are two of these service units, they are purpose built, modern facilities, located in the village of Mirfield and in Cleckheaton close to the town centre. Each service user can decorate their flat to make it feel like a home from home, with their possessions and personal taste.


Working with vulnerable adults, our team ensures the provision of quality care to our service users by carrying out duties in line with service user choice, objectives, policies, procedures, and CQC standards.
Our staff are skilled and compassionate when supporting service users and our person-centred approach promotes dignity and choice, to build their life skills.
Our team work hard to ensure the service users are at the centre of all that we do, often going the extra mile to support our service users to be as happy and fulfilled as possible, developing new skills, supporting them out in the community to carry out every day living tasks such as shopping, banking, medical appointments, celebrating birthdays and enjoying events together.


Testimonial from one of our team:

One of the team members at The Mews says, ‘the service users rely on you, we see them more than their own family and they love living here’.

Another said, ‘It’s a very rewarding job, satisfying and you feel part of their family’.
