About Cardell House

Cardell House is a residential home in Bristol for adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults. We offer planned respite stays as well as longer placements. This is somebody's home before it is anything else. The people who live here choose how their rooms look, have a real say in meals and the shape of the week, and are supported to keep up the relationships and interests that matter to them. The ordinary business of having preferences and making choices should not quietly disappear because somebody lives in a supported setting, and a good deal of our work is simply making sure it does not. Support is planned around each person. For some that means a full and busy week out in Bristol, with work, college, clubs and family time. For others it means a quieter and highly predictable rhythm, which is an equally good way to live. With autistic people in particular we pay close attention to routine, to warning of change and to the sensory side of the environment, because those details tend to decide whether a day goes well. Respite stays are planned with the same care as any other placement, and give families a genuine break in the knowledge that their relative is somewhere calm and properly staffed. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are considering Cardell House for someone, please get in touch and come and look round.
