Established to support and empower individuals with such needs, Mentaur Ltd. operates a variety of care homes and support services tailored to foster personal growth, independence, and integration into the community.

History

Mentaur Ltd. was founded to address the growing demand for specialised care services in the United Kingdom. The organisation’s mission focuses on creating inclusive environments that support people with disabilities, providing them with the necessary resources, and promoting their well-being and self-sufficiency. Through its residential care homes and supported living facilities, Mentaur has expanded its services over the years, emphasising person-centred care.

Services

Mentaur Ltd. provides a range of services designed for individuals with complex needs, including:

  • Residential Care Homes: The organisation operates multiple care homes, each tailored to support individuals with specific needs such as autism spectrum disorders, Down syndrome, and various mental health challenges. These homes are designed to offer a structured, supportive environment that promotes independence and quality of life.
  • Supported Living Programmes: For those who are capable of living more independently but still require support, Mentaur offers supported living services. These services aim to help individuals integrate into their communities, manage daily living tasks, and develop skills necessary for autonomy.
  • Day Services and Activities: In addition to housing options, Mentaur Day Opportunities Resource Centre [MDORC][2] provides day services that offer social, educational, and day care activities. These services are developed to enhance skills, encourage socialisation, and provide meaningful engagement for participants.
