About Bradbury House

Bradbury House is a residential care home in Bristol. We support adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults, people managing mental health conditions and younger adults, and we offer respite stays for people whose usual home is elsewhere. We run this as a shared house rather than a service. Rooms belong to the people in them and get arranged accordingly. The weekly shop is settled by the people who will eat it. Where we go at the weekend is decided by whoever is going. We ask instead of assuming, and being told no is a perfectly good outcome. Much of the work is about widening what is possible rather than occupying the day. Cooking something you actually want. Getting confident with money. Managing a bus journey alone. Keeping a course, a job or a friendship going. Some of that happens quickly, some takes years and some never quite comes off, and none of those is a failure so long as the chance was genuinely there and nobody was pushed into it. Supporting mental health here is mostly about not wobbling. We keep to what we have agreed, we notice when somebody is not themselves, and we make it easy to talk without a formal arrangement. Where community teams are involved we work with them properly. Bristol gives people plenty of reason to get out, and we support that as far as anybody wants to take it. The Care Quality Commission rated us good at our last inspection, and we keep asking what needs improving.
