Be supported

We support adults aged 19+ who live with complex Epilepsy, complex health care conditions and disabilities, and we offer a broad range of services.

Most of the people we support live in their home together with their peers at our onside residential services. We also have Supported Living accommodation nearby in Godalming, where adults who are safely able to live a little more independently reside.

We also welcome day clients to The Meath for our day services at The Skills Centre where clients are supported to enjoy a wide range of educational, fitness and creative skills based activities.

Our Residents

Living at The Meath

Residents have their own bedrooms, which they are encouraged to personalise. In the social spaces, such as a kitchen, dining room and lounge, everyone gathers to prepare meals, eat, chat and enjoy each other’s company. Every resident is supported with household responsibilities such as meal planning, shopping and food preparation.

Our Residents

Daily Life for Meath Residents

During weekdays residents are typically busy enjoying their choice of sessions at the Skills Centre or at external settings. During downtime they often enjoy a movie or pamper evening together, heading out to local attractions.

Weekends usually have a more relaxed pace and often include a trip out, a fortnightly visit to our on-site Café – The Hive – for ‘Social Saturday mornings’ or simply getting out in the great outdoors.

Safety

Keeping Residents Safe

Our dedicated team of residential staff are supported by our Epilepsy Nurse and wellbeing team to deliver person-centred, round the clock care. Robust systems and assistive technology allow each resident to make the most of each day. Seizure monitoring systems are used throughout our buildings to ensure that everyone feels safe while maintaining privacy.

Thanks to our broad range of services and facilities on offer, every resident is able to enjoy the holistic person-centered care they require to live safely, independently and to lead a fulfilled life.

  • On Site GP Clinics
  • Occupational Therapy
  • Sensory Therapy
  • Skills Centre
  • Gym
  • The Hive Café and social space (includes Social Saturdays and regular evening events)

Our Grounds and Location

The Meath is situated in spacious landscaped grounds and is located a short walk away from local amenities and Godalming train station. Our Registered Managers have direct responsibility for the successful management of all registered accommodation.

In addition to our on-site accommodation we have two Supported Living houses in Godalming for residents who can live more independently.

"The Meath has been my safety net for over 5 years. I have made lots of friends and learnt skills that I never knew I was capable of. The staff really care and I never want to leave!"

"I live locally in a Meath Supported Living House and the Skills Centre has helped me to be more independent. I enjoy learning new skills and being with my friends. I come to the Skills Centre most days and also enjoy having lunch onsite at The Hive."
