Children Residential Care
At Merit Care Ltd, our children’s residential services focus on empowering young people to develop their social, emotional, independence, and functional skills, enabling them to acquire coping mechanisms for the future and take steps towards resilience and wellbeing.
We believe that all young people deserve the best chance to grow, develop, and receive an education that prepares them for a bright and productive future. Therefore, all our children’s homes offer education to our residents through an Aspris Education specialist school and college or alternative education providers, with courses and classes tailored according to individual needs, abilities, and educational levels.
From the point of referral, we work in partnership with families, carers, commissioners, stakeholders, and the young person themselves to identify the most suitable residential care placement, fully meeting their requirements and providing the best level of support.
