About Kalmia & Mallow
Kalmia & Mallow provides residential support for up to 13 men and women who are autistic or have a learning disability, including people who may also have complex needs. The home is registered to support older people, younger adults and people with learning disabilities without nursing care.
Based in Watton, the service combines a residential setting with opportunities for social and recreational activities. Its stated aim is to help residents live as independently as possible, while providing support in a dedicated care-home environment. The home’s focus on autism and learning disability care makes it relevant to families seeking specialist residential support rather than general retirement accommodation.
