About St Agatha's Presbytery

St Agatha's Presbytery in Dawlish, Devon, is a residential care home for adults living with learning disabilities and autism, including younger adults. It is a house, and we try to run it like one. The people who live here have a genuine say in the ordinary things, from what gets cooked to how the shared rooms are arranged and who comes to visit. Staff know everybody properly rather than knowing a file about them, and the week is shaped around individuals rather than a rota. We support people to do as much for themselves as they want and are able to, whether that means cooking, shopping, handling money, getting out along the coast and into town, or keeping up with college, work and friendships. Where somebody needs a great deal of help, we give it without making them feel diminished for needing it. Communication is planned around each person, and we take change at a pace people can manage. Respite stays are available. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good, and visitors are welcome.
