About 1 Parkstone Avenue
1 Parkstone Avenue is a residential care home in Benfleet, Essex, supporting adults with a learning disability or autism, adults living with mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities and people with a visual or hearing impairment, alongside older people who need residential care. Support is planned individually. It can include help with personal care, medication, cooking, laundry, managing money and getting to appointments, and it takes in the parts of life that matter just as much: friendships, going out, keeping up an interest, having plans of your own. We communicate in whatever way suits each person, adapting for sight and hearing where that is needed, and we help people move about safely without taking over from them. A settled routine matters greatly to many of those we support, and where somebody wants more independence we plan support that draws back as their confidence grows. We support younger adults alongside older residents, and we do not assume that people want the same things simply because they share a roof. Respite stays are available too, giving family carers a real break. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and visit, meet the people who live here and see how the household actually works.
