About Estoril
Estoril is a residential care home in Southminster supporting adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, including younger adults building towards more independent living. We run this as somebody's home rather than as a unit. Everybody has their own room and their own things, and the rhythm of the day belongs to the people who live here. Support is agreed with the person and those who know them best, and it can mean help with every part of personal care or simply prompting and encouragement while somebody does things for themselves. Communication gets a great deal of attention. Learning how each person expresses themselves, what settles them, what they find hard and what a change in behaviour is telling us is the core of doing this properly, and what we learn is written down so that the whole team supports the person in the same way. People are supported to have a life beyond the front door, keeping up interests and activities, getting out locally, attending appointments and staying in contact with family and friends. Respite stays can be arranged where appropriate. If you are looking for a placement for somebody, please contact us. We will assess carefully and say honestly whether we can meet the need.
