About Dimensions 85 Highfield Avenue
Our home at 85 Highfield Avenue in Aldershot is a small residential care home. We support adults with learning disabilities and autism, adults with physical disabilities and people living with sight or hearing loss, including younger adults, alongside older people who need residential care. Because the household is small, staff know everybody here properly, including the things that never make it into a care plan: who wants an early start, who needs plenty of notice before anything changes, who likes company and who would sooner be left in peace. That knowledge is what makes the place work on an ordinary day. The people who live here decide how their rooms look, what is on the shopping list, how the week is shaped and what they do with it. Support might mean personal care, help with medication, a hand with money and appointments, or practical assistance to get out to college, work, clubs or simply the shops. Where somebody uses signs, symbols or their own particular way of making themselves understood, our staff learn it, and we never make a decision about a person without a real effort to include them in it. Respite stays are available as well, giving families a planned break and giving the person staying some different company. If you are looking for a placement in the area, please contact us. We are happy to arrange a visit and we will be honest about whether we are the right fit.
