About Durlands Road
Durlands Road is a care home in Horndean, providing residential care for adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults, including younger adults, and offering respite stays. We run the house as a home. People choose how their own rooms look, have a say in meals and shopping, and decide what to do with their own time. Support turns up for the parts of life that are genuinely difficult and stays out of the way of the parts that are not, which is a harder balance to hold than it sounds and matters more than almost anything else we do. For younger adults in particular, this is often a first move away from the family home. That is a big step for everyone concerned, so we take it in stages. Visits, overnight stays, plenty of contact with family, and no pressure to commit before it feels right. Families are welcome here afterwards too, as often as everyone wants. Autistic adults are poorly served by unpredictability, so we keep our staff team steady, explain changes in advance and pay attention to the sensory side of the environment as well as the social one. Respite stays are planned with the same care as a permanent move. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are looking at options in Hampshire, please come and see the house on a normal day and ask us anything.
