About 3 to 5 Kennet Way
We are a small residential care home at Kennet Way in Basingstoke, supporting adults with a learning disability or autism, and offering respite stays as well as permanent places. Being small is the point. It means the people who live here are not part of a crowd, that the kitchen is a kitchen rather than a catering operation, and that staff have the time to know somebody properly rather than in outline. It also means that the household can be run around the people in it. Mealtimes, outings, quiet time and noise levels are all things we sort out between us. Our team supports people to do as much for themselves as they want to. That might be shopping and cooking together, learning a bus route, keeping up a job or a course, managing money, or having help with the sort of appointments and paperwork that trip most of us up. Where somebody communicates without speech we take the time to learn how they communicate, and we pay attention to what a person shows us as well as what they say. Respite guests are planned for properly. We visit first, we find out what matters to the person, and we try to make a short stay feel like a change of scene rather than an upheaval. The Care Quality Commission rated us good at our most recent inspection. Families and professionals are welcome to visit and see how the house actually runs.
