About Seeleys House Short Breaks Centre
Seeleys House Short Breaks Centre in Beaconsfield provides short breaks for adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, including people with physical disabilities and younger adults. Short breaks are worth doing properly. They give the person a change of scene, different company and things to do that they choose for themselves, and they give family carers a genuine rest rather than a token one. Both matter, and the second only works if the first is done well. Because people come to us for days or a week rather than permanently, preparation is everything. We want to know well in advance what somebody likes and dislikes, how they communicate, what unsettles them, how much warning they need before anything changes and how their week runs at home, so that a stay does not feel like being uprooted. We keep the staff team familiar between visits for the same reason, so that people come back to faces they know rather than starting again each time. While people are here they get out to what they enjoy locally, take part in running the house as much as they want to, and have their own space whenever they need it. Where somebody has a physical disability, equipment and layout are set up to support what they can do for themselves. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. Enquiries and referrals are welcome.
