We find the right home, adapt it to the person, and build a support plan around what they want their life to look like. Specialist supported living for adults with learning disabilities.
The directors of MH&S bring over 20 years of social care and nursing experience, gained working with vulnerable people from birth through to 65. That includes deep specialism in learning disabilities, autism, and complex needs across the full lifespan.
Qualified nurses and social workers by background, they understand what genuinely person-centred care requires. Not as an ideal, but as a professional discipline built over two decades of frontline practice. That depth of experience shapes every decision at MH&S, from how support plans are written to how the team is recruited and trained.
We provide the home and the support package as a joined-up service. You don't have to piece it together from multiple providers.
We source and adapt homes that genuinely fit the individual. The right property, arranged and personalised around the person who will live there. We encourage independence from the moment someone moves in.
Each support plan is built collaboratively with the individual themselves. Covering lifestyle development, community access, and independent living skills, with communication approaches and goal-setting shaped around how they think and what they want their life to look like.
We take time to understand each person, not just their needs on paper. Their feelings, their history, how they communicate, what actually matters to them.
Genuine care shows up in small things done consistently, not big gestures done occasionally. We build trust through reliability and respect, every shift.
We tell families what's happening, good and bad. If something needs to change, we say so. Nobody benefits from information being filtered.
The best outcomes for the people we support come from working with everyone around them, not instead of them. NHS teams, families, advocates, and the individuals themselves.
Straightforward for NHS teams, families, and anyone getting in touch on behalf of someone they care about.
Call or email us with an initial enquiry. We respond within one working day.
We review the person's needs, goals and preferences to check we're the right fit.
We suggest suitable properties, the individual chooses their preferred one. We build an initial support plan with the individual and people involved in their care.
We support a careful transition and hold regular reviews to make sure the placement is working well.
Every registered provider has to meet a set of standards. We don't just meet them, we use them as a baseline, not a ceiling. Our CQC registration means we are independently inspected, and our report is available to anyone who wants to read it: the people we support, their families, and any team working alongside us.
Transparency is not a policy for us, it is how we operate. If you'd like to discuss our inspection history or what regulation means in practice for the people in our care, call us or ask when you visit.
Our staff are the reason the people we support thrive. We look after the team that looks after them, with real training, consistent management, and a workplace that values the work you do.
We don't take that lightly. Our role isn't to replace your family, it's to extend it. Here's what you can expect from us from day one.
Support plans are built with the person and their family, not written behind closed doors. Reviews happen regularly and you'll always have a direct line to the team.
No chasing for updates. We agree a communication rhythm with each family at the start, whether that's weekly calls, daily notes, or something in between.
Moving into supported living is a big step. We work with families through the whole transition, not just the admin side, but the emotional side too.
Over 20 years of social care and nursing experience. A decade of building something we'd actually want for our own families.
Maranatha Housing & Support was founded by people who spent years inside the care sector, long enough to see its patterns. Good intentions let down by bad systems. People with learning disabilities placed in homes that felt institutional. Support workers stretched too thin to do the job properly.
We set out to build something different. Not a big provider with hundreds of placements and a head office that never visits. A focused, specialist service where we know every person we support, every family, every team that has worked alongside us.
"Our test for every decision is simple: would we want this for our own family member? If the answer is no, we change the approach."
We support adults aged 18 to 65 with learning disabilities, autism, epilepsy, anxiety, visual impairments and related conditions. We are a small, focused service and that is a deliberate choice. It means every person we support gets our full attention, not a fraction of it.
The directors of MH&S came from nursing and social care, not from business. Over 20 years of frontline experience shapes how decisions get made here, from staff selection through to how support plans are written.
We work specifically with adults with learning disabilities and associated conditions. That focus means our staff training, our homes, and our approach are all built around this group, not adapted from something more generic.
We're small enough that our managers know every person we support by name. The support workers who walk through someone's door are consistent, familiar faces, not agency staff filling a rota gap.
We take time to understand each person before we do anything else. Their communication style, their history, their triggers, what brings them joy, what causes them distress. Support that isn't grounded in that understanding isn't really support.
Care shows up in consistency. Turning up on time. Knowing that someone likes their tea with two sugars and has done for years. Building relationships slowly, with patience. The work is demanding, and the people who do it well take it seriously.
We communicate openly with the people we support, their families, and every team working alongside us. If something isn't working, we say so. If we need to change an approach, we explain why. There is no place for papering over cracks in this work.
The best outcomes come from working with everyone in a person's life, not acting as a silo. NHS teams, families, advocates, and the individuals themselves all have a role to play. We make space for all of them.
Quality housing and personalised support built around each individual. Both, joined up, from one provider.
Where someone lives shapes everything else. A home that fits gives the people we support a genuine foundation to build their lives from. We choose and adapt each property around the individual, so they can feel settled, secure, and proud of where they live.
A good support plan is a living document built with the person, not written about them. Ours capture not just what someone needs day to day, but who they are, how they communicate, what they want their life to look like, and the steps we will take together to get there.
A safe place to live is the starting point, not the destination. The goal is a life the person actually wants. Lifestyle development means helping each person discover what brings them joy, build routines that give them purpose, and develop the connections that make them feel part of something.
Living in a community and being part of one are not the same thing. We support the people we work with to get out, engage with the world around them, and build real connections in it. Our staff are there to enable, not to do things for people. The goal is confidence and belonging.
Independence is always the direction of travel. Our goal is to reduce how much support someone needs over time, not to keep them reliant on it. We actively teach and reinforce the practical skills that allow the people we support to manage their own lives, on their own terms.
Often in combination. If you're unsure whether we're right for someone, call us and we'll give you an honest answer.
Mild, moderate, and severe. Our approach, our training, and our homes are all shaped around this group specifically.
Staff trained in autism-aware practice. Environments adapted for sensory needs. Structured routines where they help. Communication support where it's needed.
Staff trained in epilepsy awareness, seizure recognition, and emergency response. Clear protocols that everyone understands.
Trauma-informed support in a stable home environment. Consistency in staffing matters here more than anywhere else.
Adapted environments and trained staff. Supporting people with partial sight or full visual impairment to live confidently and independently.
We support individuals with dual diagnoses and complex presentations. Get in touch and we'll tell you honestly whether we're the right fit.
Family exploring options, NHS team making a referral, or someone interested in joining us. We'd like to hear from you.
We're based in Corby. Calls are always welcome and we try to answer every one.
Select "Referral" in the form. We'll follow up within one working day. You can also call directly if you'd prefer to speak to someone first.
We'll get back to you within one working day.
Published in accordance with section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015.
This statement is published under section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and covers the financial year April 2025 to March 2026.
Modern slavery and human trafficking are serious crimes. The people we support, adults with learning disabilities and associated conditions, can be at greater risk of exploitation than the general population. That is not an abstract concern for us; it is something our staff are trained to recognise and respond to as part of their daily work.
This statement describes the steps we have taken to make sure modern slavery is not taking place in our organisation or our supply chains, and what we plan to do next.
Maranatha Housing & Support is a specialist supported living provider registered with and regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). We provide housing and support to adults with learning disabilities, autism, epilepsy, and associated needs, based in Corby, Northamptonshire, and operating within the East Midlands.
Our directors have over 20 years of combined experience in nursing and social care. All staff are directly employed by us on standard contracts. We do not use umbrella company arrangements or unpaid trial shifts.
Our supply chains are entirely UK-based. As a small specialist provider, our procurement is limited in scope. We buy from suppliers in the following categories:
We have no international supply chains and no complex procurement arrangements.
The following policies are reviewed annually and covered during staff induction. Together they set out how we prevent exploitation within our organisation and respond to it if it occurs:
All new staff complete identity, right-to-work, and DBS checks before starting. No one begins work without satisfactory clearance. Where we use agencies for temporary staffing, we check that workers are engaged lawfully before they work with us.
New suppliers are asked about their employment practices before we engage them. For larger contracts we request confirmation that they have anti-slavery policies in place. We can and do end supplier relationships where concerns arise.
Support workers are trained to spot signs of exploitation in the people they support and to raise concerns through our safeguarding process.
We have identified three areas where modern slavery risk is highest for our organisation:
Our overall risk is low. That is not a reason to be less careful; it is a reason to keep doing what we are doing.
All staff receive safeguarding training at induction. This covers modern slavery specifically: what it is, what the warning signs look like in a care setting, and what to do if they have a concern. The training is repeated annually.
Topics covered include:
Managers receive additional training on their responsibilities under the Modern Slavery Act 2015, including a direct reporting line to the directors for any concern.
We track the following to check our approach is working:
We did not identify any instances of modern slavery in our organisation or supply chains during the year this statement covers. If we do in future, we will report to the relevant authorities immediately.
This statement has been approved by the directors of Maranatha Housing & Support and covers all operations carried out under the Maranatha Housing & Support name.
