About 76 Canute Road
76 Canute Road is a small residential home in Hastings, East Sussex. We support adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, and adults living with a mental health condition. Most of the people here are younger adults, and respite stays are available alongside permanent places. The first thing worth saying is that this is a house on a road, not an institution. The people who live here have their own rooms and their own belongings and a genuine say in how a week looks. Support plans are agreed with the person and written in language the person can read. Staff are matched to people with some thought rather than allocated to whoever is on shift. Support means doing things with people and not to them. Cooking, shopping, budgeting, travel, appointments, keeping in touch with family. Where mental health is the central issue, the work is mostly patient and ordinary, including keeping a routine steady when somebody is unwell and noticing early when things are sliding, without making a crisis of it. Where somebody needs predictability in order to feel safe, we hold it consistently. Hastings has the sea, the old town and plenty going on, and getting out into it is treated as ordinary life. Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Come and meet the people who live here.
