About Dimensions 123 Calmore Road
We at Dimensions 123 Calmore Road offer specialist residential care in the heart of Southampton, providing a welcoming home for adults living with learning disabilities and autism. Nestled within a familiar Hampshire community, our service combines the comforts of everyday living with the dedicated support that each resident deserves. Our home is set within the Calmore area of Southampton, a location that benefits from the warmth of a residential neighbourhood whilst remaining well connected to the wider amenities of the city and the South East. The setting allows residents to feel part of their local community, with opportunities to enjoy nearby parks, shops, and social spaces that contribute to a meaningful daily routine. Inside, we focus on creating an environment that feels genuinely like home, where personal preferences are respected and individuality is celebrated. Caring for adults with learning disabilities and autism requires a thoughtful, person centred approach, and this is at the very core of what we do. Every resident has their own story, their own communication style, and their own aspirations, and our team takes the time to truly understand each individual. In practice, this means supporting people to build daily routines that bring comfort and confidence, encouraging participation in activities that reflect personal interests, and working closely with families to ensure consistency between home life and life with us. We promote independence wherever possible, helping residents to develop skills, make choices, and engage with their community in ways that feel right for them. For families, this means peace of mind in knowing that your loved one is supported by people who view them as a person first, never defined by their diagnosis. Following the most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission in March 2022, our home received an overall rating of Good. The inspectors recognised our work as Good across the domains of Safe, Effective, Caring, and Responsive, reflecting the everyday compassion, attentiveness, and reliability that families can expect from our team. The Well led domain was rated as Requires Improvement, and we view this honestly as an area where we continue to learn and strengthen our practices. For families, a Good rating provides reassurance that the fundamentals of care, safety, and kindness are firmly in place, whilst our commitment to ongoing development means we are always striving to do better for the people we support. Choosing the right home for a loved one is one of the most significant decisions a family can make, and we understand the care, thought, and emotion that goes into that journey. If you are exploring residential care options in Southampton for an adult with a learning disability or autism, we warmly invite you to get in touch with us. We would be delighted to answer your questions, share more about daily life at our home, and help you decide whether we might be the right fit for your family.
