Merchants House in Bradford is a 24/7 supported living service for adults living with a mental health diagnosis, learning disability or autism.
Located in Shipley, Merchants House has been transformed into a spacious modern living space containing 25 self-contained 1-bedroom flats. This service also offers a shared kitchen and lounge area to promote social inclusion.
Located close to the centre of Shipley, there is easy access to shops, local amenities and public transport.
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 Bradford mental health community team also provide a 24/7 outreach service supporting people within their own home.
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.
