About 23 Valley Road
We are the home at 23 Valley Road in Southampton, where we support adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, mostly younger adults, and where we can also offer respite stays. This is a small house and the people who live here are supported by a team who know them well. That familiarity is the whole point. When staff understand somebody thoroughly, they can tell the difference between a person who wants to be left alone for an hour and a person who is quietly becoming distressed, and they can respond to each properly. We support people to have as much control over their lives as possible. Residents choose how their rooms look, what they eat, what they do with their time and who is involved in supporting them. Where somebody communicates without speech, we take the time to learn their own way of telling us things and we build their support around what they have actually told us. Routine and predictability matter to many of the people we support, so we keep things steady and give plenty of warning about anything that will be different. Days here include the ordinary business of running a household, with people joining in as much as they want, alongside getting out locally, seeing family and friends, and doing the things each person enjoys. Staff are trained for the particular needs of the people they support. Families, social workers and health colleagues are welcome to visit and to ask us anything about how we work.
