About Webb House
Webb House is a residential care home in Newhaven, East Sussex, supporting adults living with learning disabilities and autism, including people with physical disabilities and people with a visual or hearing impairment. Sensory impairment alongside a learning disability changes what good support looks like, and a good deal of our practice is built around that. How a room is arranged and kept arranged. How information is given, and how much warning somebody gets before anything changes. How staff announce themselves when they come into a space. These sound like details. For the people who live here they are the difference between a world that makes sense and one that keeps ambushing them. Communication is planned around each individual rather than around a general approach, and independence here is specific and practical. Finding your own way around the house. Making your own drink. Choosing your own day and being understood when you do. Respite stays are available. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good, and we welcome visits from families and professionals considering a place.
