About 15 Preston Drove
Our home at 15 Preston Drove in Brighton provides residential care for adults with a learning disability and for autistic adults, including younger adults. We also offer respite stays. This is a house and we want it to feel like one. The people who live here have their own rooms, their own belongings and their own way of running a day, and support is arranged around that rather than around a timetable that suits staff. Some people have lived here together for years. Others arrive needing space and patience before they settle, and we do not rush that or treat it as a problem. Support is planned around what each person wants to be able to do rather than simply around risk. Cooking, shopping, managing money, using transport, getting to activities, college or work, and keeping up with family and friends. Where somebody needs a lot of help, we still look for what they can take on themselves, because independence slips away quietly unless someone is protecting it. Communication is something we take seriously. We learn how each person tells us what they want, including those who use little or no speech, and we adapt to them. Noise, lighting, routine and having a quiet place to go all affect how a day turns out. Being in Brighton, there is plenty to get out for, and we do. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch to visit.
