At Tanac Homes, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate care that addresses every facet of a child’s well-being. Our services are designed to create a stable, supportive, and enriching environment where children can heal from past experiences, develop essential skills and build a foundation for a successful future. We go beyond basic needs to offer a holistic range of support tailored to each child’s individual journey.
What We Offer
Our integrated approach ensures that every child receives the care and opportunities they need to thrive:
- Safe and Nurturing Accommodation: We provide a warm, secure, and homely environment in our purpose-designed residences. Each child has a comfortable space within a family-like setting, fostering a sense of belonging, stability and peace. Our homes are staffed by dedicated, experienced staff who offer round-the-clock support and guidance.
- Holistic Health and Well-being Support: The physical and mental health of our children is paramount. We ensure access to regular medical and dental check-ups, provide nutritious and balanced meals and promote healthy living habits. Crucially, we also offer emotional support and, when appropriate, facilitate access to therapeutic interventions and counselling to help children process their experiences and develop resilience.
- Education and Academic Support: Education is a cornerstone of our service. We ensure all children are enrolled in suitable local schools and receive the academic support they need to succeed. This includes dedicated homework assistance, tutoring and access to learning resources. We work closely with schools to monitor progress and advocate for each child’s educational needs, helping them achieve their full potential.
- Life Skills Development: We empower children with practical life skills essential for future independence. This includes age-appropriate training in areas such as personal hygiene, healthy cooking, financial literacy (budgeting, saving), household management and effective communication. Our aim is to build confidence and prepare them for self-sufficient living.
- Personal Development and Enrichment: We believe in nurturing talents and fostering personal growth. Our services include facilitating participation in a wide range of extracurricular activities, such as sports, arts and crafts, music lessons and cultural outings. These activities help children discover new interests, develop social skills, build self-esteem and simply enjoy being children.
- Emotional and Social Development: We create an environment where children learn to build positive relationships, understand their emotions and develop crucial social competencies. Through structured activities, group interactions, and one-on-one support, we help children develop empathy, conflict resolution skills and a strong sense of self-worth.
- Future Planning and Transition Support: As children approach adulthood, we provide tailored support for their transition out of our care. This includes guidance on further education, vocational training, employment opportunities and independent living arrangements. Our goal is to ensure they are well-prepared for the next chapter of their lives.
Our Tailored Approach to Your Child’s Well-being
We believe in a holistic model of care that addresses every aspect of a child’s development. Here’s how we can support your child:
- A Safe, Loving, and Stable Home: We provide a warm, comfortable and consistent living environment designed to feel like a real home. Your child will have their own space within a supportive community, fostering a sense of belonging and security. Our dedicated staff are on hand 24/7, offering consistent emotional support, guidance and the stability essential for healing and growth.
- Individualised Care Plans: We know every child is unique. Before your child arrives, and continuously throughout their stay, we develop a detailed, personalised care plan. This plan is tailored to their specific needs, strengths, and goals, addressing everything from educational support and emotional well-being to personal development and future aspirations. We regularly review and adapt this plan in collaboration with you and relevant professionals.

This includes dedicated homework help, tutoring and access to learning resources. We work closely with schools to advocate for your child’s educational needs, ensuring they receive the best possible learning experience.
- Focus on Health and Emotional Well-being: Your child’s physical and mental health are paramount. We provide nutritious meals, facilitate regular medical and dental check-ups, and promote healthy lifestyle choices. Crucially, we offer robust emotional support, including access to therapeutic interventions and counselling, to help your child process past experiences, build resilience and develop healthy coping mechanisms.
- Developing Essential Life Skills: We equip children with practical skills for independent living. Through age-appropriate guidance and activities, your child will learn about personal hygiene, healthy cooking, managing money, household chores and effective communication. Our goal is to build their confidence and prepare them for a successful transition into adulthood.
- Opportunities for Personal Growth and Fun: Childhood should be filled with joy and discovery. We actively encourage participation in a wide range of extracurricular activities, including sports, arts, music and local community groups. These opportunities help your child explore new interests, develop social skills, build self-esteem and simply enjoy being a child in a supportive environment.
- Building Positive Relationships: We foster an environment where children learn to form healthy and meaningful relationships with peers and adults. Our staff act as positive role models, guiding children in developing empathy, respect and effective communication skills, which are vital for their social development.
We are committed to providing an exceptional level of care, tailored specifically to every child’s journey. Our aim is to ensure they not only feel safe and cared for but also empowered to achieve their full potential and embrace a hopeful future.
