Comberton is a brand new 5-bed supported living service in Kidderminster providing support for adults with learning disabilities, mental health difficulties, and physical disabilities to meet their personal goals and future aspirations.

We support individuals to achieve their personal goals and reach their full potential as they live wonderfully normal lives in the community and their own home. We also support the individuals to develop and gain essential life skills as they live their best lives every day.

Our home has been purpose-built to meet the needs of the individuals we support and provide a forever home. We have a large garden where you can support and join the individuals in growing our own vegetables and herbs, and the kitchen has been adapted with height adjustable cooking hobs and sink so everyone is able to cook and prepare their own meals with your support.
