About Ellerslie House
Ellerslie House in Fareham is a residential home supporting adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults, people with mental health needs and people with sight or hearing loss, most of them younger adults. We also offer respite stays. Because people tend to live here for years, we run the house as their household rather than as a setting they have been placed in. The people who live here decide how their rooms look, have a real say in what is bought and cooked, and shape the week around what they want to do rather than around our convenience. Support with personal care, medication, health appointments and getting about is given exactly as each person has agreed and recorded in enough detail that a colleague new to a shift gets it right without being told. For anybody who finds change unsettling, that consistency is the foundation of everything else. Communication takes real effort and deserves it. Some people here use speech, others use signs, symbols, objects or behaviour we have to learn to read, and where there is sensory loss as well we think carefully about how information reaches somebody and how we make ourselves understood. We check what we think we have understood rather than assuming it. We want people to have a life beyond the front door, with work, college, clubs, friends and family. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall.
