Welcome to Merevale

Merevale House was created 25 years ago and has been owned and managed by its founder Anne Fretwell ever since. Merevale House stands firm in its belief that community-based living is essential to provide opportunities in order to recognise and develop people’s capabilities actively within their community. Merevale House believes in small-scale domestic living where people are seen to be living and working together, sharing their community and daily life. These core values are incorporated into every aspect of life and each specialist facility draws on these core values as a basis for its approach.

For us, community means togetherness, where there is no ‘us’ and ‘them’. In essence community is people living and working together. People are not seen as staff and residents, carers and service users, and the home, the centre of the community, is not seen as a care setting, but a place for active coexistence.
