Gledholt Mews and Coach House is our enhanced community residential service for adults with mental health needs or learning disabilities, who may have behaviours that challenge and associated complex needs.

The main house, which is split across three floors, offers seven en-suite bedrooms, communal lounges and a kitchen on each floor to enable the residents to shop for and prepare their own meals.
