About 361 The Ridge
361 The Ridge is a residential home in Hastings for adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults, including people with physical disabilities and people with visual or hearing impairment. We offer planned respite stays alongside longer placements. We are deliberately small, which means the people living here know each other and know the staff, and nobody has to explain themselves from scratch each time they come downstairs. For many people that takes some pressure off straight away. This is first and foremost somewhere people live. Residents choose how their rooms look, have a genuine say in meals and the shape of the week, and are supported to keep up the relationships and interests that matter to them. Support is planned around the person rather than around the building. 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. Where somebody has a physical disability we make sure equipment is properly set up and that staff use it confidently, and where there is a sensory impairment we adapt how we communicate and keep things where the person expects to find them. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are considering this home for someone, please get in touch and come and look round properly.
