Grainger House in the Midlands is a 24/7 supported living service for adults (18+) living with a mental health diagnosis, learning disability brain injury and/or autism.
Grainger House is located in Cradley Heath, Birmingham. This spacious, modern building contains 17 ensuite rooms, two communal kitchens, a lounge and an activity area.
As with all of our services, the people we support benefit from ‘The Northern Healthcare model of supported living’, with 24/7 support onsite and clinical input from our multi-disciplinary team.
Our team support with daily living tasks such as cooking, appointments, medication and money management. At Merchants House we will help encourage and support individuals to re-learn skills and tackle new ones in a safe and supportive environment. Each day is different, and we take the time to celebrate every step the people we support take on their path to greater independence and mental health recovery no matter how small.

I am supported by a multi-disciplinary team which includes a Registered Mental Health Nurse, an Occupational Therapist and Support Workers. All individuals are supported 24-hours by our dedicated team.
People's views and decisions about care were incorporated in their care plans. This helped staff to support people in a way that allowed people to have control over their lives. People told us, "I would recommend this service to other people. Staff help me with [name of activity] and help to keep me focused." (CQC Report 2021)
