About Paradise House

Paradise House Painswick is a residential care home in Painswick, Gloucestershire, supporting adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults. We think of this as a household rather than a service. People choose how they spend their time, join in with cooking, shopping and looking after the house if they want to, and arrange their own rooms. Support is agreed with each person, written in a way they can understand and check, and reviewed with them rather than decided on their behalf. Most of what makes support work is attention to detail. We learn how each person communicates, what they enjoy, what unsettles them and what helps when a day starts going wrong. For autistic residents in particular we take care over predictability, quiet space and clear information about what is happening next, which prevents far more difficulty than it ever costs in planning. Moving in should not mean giving up the rest of your life. Residents keep in touch with family and friends, go out, attend college, work or activities, and pick up new interests when they want to. Where something looks hard to arrange, we start by asking how to make it work. We also provide respite stays so that families can take a planned break. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please contact us if you would like to look round.
