Stoke House

Stoke House is a residential care home for adults with learning difficulties, autistic spectrum disorder, mental health and associated needs.

Stoke House is a Grade 2 listed Victorian house of space and character. On the A508 Market Harborough road, it is adjacent to the facilities of Kingsthorpe and within easy reach of Northampton town centre. The house promotes independence and active community living.

All accommodation is provided in single rooms. The home also offers a semi independent unit that is situated within the grounds of the home. The unit comprises of a lounge and dining area, shower room with toilet and hand basin and a kitchen; although the unit is situated away from the main house, the staff team is available 24 hours to support the user of service.

The manager is supported by a positive, trained and highly motivated staff group. This enables a caring and safe environment for individuals to develop to their optimum social, emotional and intellectual potential

Supportive Care for people with Complex Needs

As an individualized service, including management of autistic spectrum disorder, epilepsy and mental health problems, Stoke House promotes independence by supporting transition, which enables people to have informed choices and control over their lives wherever possible.

Stoke House provides a service for adults of either sex seeking to improve their independent living skills who will be encouraged to aim to move on to more independent forms of living. For those unable or unwilling to do so the home is able to provide a medium or long term care service.

A full day opportunities service is available to all service users.

A full social life coupled with educational, occupational and work programmes gives meaning and develops skills, while allowing personal time and space.

Given the wide spectrum of needs cared for, Mentaur places special emphasis on staff training and satisfaction. We support staff to constantly imrpove their skill base, and effectively manage difficult and complex situations.
