About The Ark
Adults with learning disabilities can use The Ark’s residential setting with support designed to preserve independence and everyday choice. The service has seven bedrooms, an ensuite bedroom option and a self-contained flat, and is registered as a care home without nursing.
The Ark forms part of ivolve’s wider residential and supported living provision for adults with learning disabilities, autism, mental health needs, brain injuries and other complex needs. Support is intended to sit alongside the person rather than limit their independence, helping with confidence, skills and daily life. Families and professionals can consider whether the local residential setting matches the person’s needs, preferred level of independence and funding arrangements.

Questions families ask
Who can they support?
They support adults aged 17 and over with autism, behaviours of concern, brain injuries, dementia, Down’s syndrome, learning disabilities, mental health needs, physical disabilities and other complex or medical needs.
What types of care do they offer?
They offer supported living for greater independence, residential care in a structured 24/7 home environment and complex nursing care for people with high medical or behavioural needs.
How can care at The Ark be funded?
Care can be funded by a local authority or Integrated Care Board after a care needs assessment, through NHS Continuing Healthcare, or privately by the person or their family.
Can families stay involved in a resident’s support?
Yes. They actively encourage families, advocates and loved ones to stay involved, keep them informed, listen to their insights and welcome their involvement throughout the support journey.
How long can the referral or placement process take?
It depends on the urgency of the need, funding arrangements and availability. Some placements can happen quickly, especially after hospital or secure care, while others take longer to match the right location and team.
How much does The Ark cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Ark for its weekly fee. As a guide, Kingston upon Hull council paid on average £1,719 a week for a residential care place for adults aged 18 to 64 in 2024-2025, against £1,883 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
