Specialist Adult Care Tailored to Complex Needs

Meallmore offers dedicated specialist adult care services in selected care homes across Scotland, designed to support individuals with long-term, complex needs - those aged between 18 - 65 years old. We care for adults with conditions such as acquired brain injuries, neurological disorders, complex mental health needs, and autism spectrum conditions, tailoring our approach to meet every individual’s needs and goals. With access to skilled staff, structured routines, and therapeutic activities, our homes provide safe, empowering environments where adults can live well with the support they need to thrive.

Specialist Adult Care

What is Specialist Adult Care?

Specialist adult care is for individuals aged 18 and over who live with ongoing health conditions, disabilities, or challenges that affect their ability to live independently. These may be physical, neurological, psychological, or behavioural in nature.

At Meallmore, our specialist services combine clinical oversight with person-centred care. We create individual support plans that focus on stability, safety, emotional wellbeing, and long-term quality of life – whether someone is with us for a few months or many years. Our homes are adapted to meet specialist needs, and our teams receive enhanced training to deliver the right care, the right way.

Comprehensive care and support for adults with complex needs

We provide structured, personalised support that balances physical and emotional wellbeing with opportunities for growth, independence and connection.

Acquired Brain Injury Support

We offer long-term care for adults living with acquired brain injuries, providing structure, rehabilitation, and behaviour support in a calm and therapeutic environment. Our teams support recovery, reduce distress, and help individuals maintain meaningful daily routines.

Neurological Conditions

We support adults with progressive and non-progressive neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis, Huntington’s disease, and cerebral palsy. Care focuses on symptom management, comfort, mobility, and personalised therapeutic engagement.
Autism and Learning Disabilities
For individuals on the autism spectrum or with learning disabilities, we create stable, low-stimulation environments with tailored routines. Staff work closely with families and external professionals to build confidence, manage behaviour, and promote self-expression.
Mental Health & Complex Behaviour
We support adults living with enduring or severe mental health conditions, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and emotionally unstable personality disorder. Our teams are trained to manage complex behaviours safely and respectfully, using a recovery-based approach.
Physical Disability Support
For adults with mobility issues, long-term conditions or degenerative disorders, we provide adapted living environments, mobility assistance, and physiotherapy support. Our care helps residents maintain function and enjoy day-to-day life with comfort and dignity.
Transition from Hospital or Community Settings
We offer specialist placements for individuals transitioning from hospital, rehabilitation units or community support services. Each care plan is developed collaboratively to ensure stability, consistency, and successful long-term placement.
