Tenant being supported with food A place to live

Support to live in your home

Watford Mencap has a small number of properties that people with learning disabilities can rent.

Support can be how you need it

A named Support Worker from Watford Mencap visits the tenants every week to help them live independently.

This is called housing-related support, and is funded through the Supporting People Programme.

The type of help people need is different but can include –

  • Reading post, paying bills and managing a budget
  • Keeping healthy and well
  • Keeping safe and getting on with neighbours
  • Information about leisure, employment, and the community
  • Life skills development
  • Assistance to manage household tasks

If you would like to talk to someone about this please contact Beth Smith, Operations Manager, bsmith@watfordmencap.org.uk
