About Ivy Mead
Ivy Mead supports adults with learning disabilities in Yorkshire, with additional support for autism, epilepsy and physical disabilities. Its programmes are shaped around individual choices and personal needs rather than a fixed routine.
The organisation works on life skills, social development, vocation and education, helping people progress towards greater independence. Activities are intended to be stimulating without placing unreasonable expectations on an individual. Support can also include health needs such as epilepsy or diabetes, within services operating across South and West Yorkshire.

How much does Ivy Mead cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Ivy Mead for its weekly fee. As a guide, Barnsley council paid on average £819 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
