Complex care. Individual homes.Built around the person.
CALMH UK provides specialist supported living and residential care for adults with autism, learning disabilities, and complex mental health needs.
Who We Support
We work with adults whose needs haven't always been well met elsewhere, often following placement breakdown, or a hospital admission that's run longer than it should have.
Every person we support has a single occupancy home and a plan built specifically around them, not a standard package attached to a diagnosis.
That plan is shaped with the person, their family, and their clinical team from the outset, and it keeps evolving as they do, because a good life doesn't stay still once someone moves in.
Autism
Support that respects routine, sensory needs and communication style, at a pace that's genuinely theirs.Learning disabilities
Everyday support built around what someone can already do, so skills and confidence grow rather than being done for them.Complex mental health needs, including behaviours that challenge
Positive Behaviour Support and consistent relationships, so behaviour is met with understanding rather than restriction.Hospital and ATU step down
A genuine, single occupancy alternative for people ready to leave hospital, but with nowhere safe to go.The right support, in the right home, at the right time.
That means reducing reliance on care delivered in hospital wherever a community placement can meet someone's needs safely, working to the least restrictive option in every decision, and supporting people to take positive risks when doing so can improve their quality of life.
Read more about our approachFor commissioners and referrers.
If you're a social worker, brokerage officer, or commissioner looking to place someone with complex needs, we make referrals straightforward.
Stories from the people we support.
Careers that actually mean something.
Flexible shifts that fit your life, real training instead of a box ticking induction, and teams matched to the people they support: work you'll actually feel good about.
Built around the person.
Most services fit a person to whatever placement is available. CALMH UK is built on a set of commitments we don't compromise on.
Sensory considered environments.
Acoustics, lighting and visual contrast designed in, following Habinteg and Inclusive Design guidance.
Adaptable to changing needs.
Homes designed to flex as a person's needs change, not just meet a fixed point in time.
Connected, not isolated.
Outside space and neighbourhood connectivity built in, so homes don't just meet a person's needs indoors.
Trauma informed by design.
Sensory friendly, adaptable environments shaped around Habinteg and Inclusive Design principles.
Choice led, technology enabled living.
More options, built around what each person actually wants, following TAPPI principles.
Coproduced with the person.
Technology and support shaped with the person, not decided for them, in line with TAPPI's coproduced principle.
The principles behind every placement
Four commitments that shape how we work with the people we support, their families, and the commissioners who refer to us.
Inclusive
We welcome people other services have turned away, and build every home around who someone is, not the diagnosis on their referral.
Integrity
We do what we say we will. Families and commissioners trust us because we are honest, transparent and accountable, even when the conversation is a difficult one.
Excellence
We invest in our people, reflect on our practice, and keep raising the bar so the support we deliver goes on exceeding expectations.
Resilient
Complex care means staying steady when things are hard, so the people we support can rely on us through setbacks, not just when things go to plan.
