About Timber Grove
Timber Grove is a residential care home in Rayleigh, Essex, supporting adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, people with a physical disability and people living with a visual or hearing impairment. We also offer respite stays, which families often use for a planned break or when circumstances change unexpectedly. This is people's home and we run it that way. Residents decide how their rooms look, what they eat, how a weekend is spent and who comes to see them. Where somebody needs support to make a decision we provide it in the form that works for them and we take the time it takes, rather than deciding on their behalf because that would be quicker. Routine and warning matter a great deal here. We hold to what has been agreed and explain changes properly and in advance. For people with sight or hearing loss, the practical details decide whether someone stays independent, so good lighting, familiar layouts, unhurried conversation and equipment that actually works are part of everyday practice rather than extras. We also support a life beyond the front door, including work and college placements, activities locally and contact with family and friends on the person's own terms. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please visit and see the house on an ordinary day.
