About Cambria House
Here at Cambria House, we provide residential care for adults in the heart of Winchester, Hampshire. Our team supports people with learning disabilities and autism, and we also offer respite care for those who need a short break or a planned period of support away from home. We understand that choosing a care home is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we do not take that lightly. From the very first conversation, we try to make sure that each person who comes to us feels genuinely seen and heard. Care plans are built around the individual, not the other way around, and we work closely with residents, their families and other professionals to get things right. For those we support with learning disabilities and autism, we know how much the right environment matters. Consistency, familiarity and trust are not extras here, they are the foundation of everything we do. We take time to understand how each person communicates, what makes them comfortable, and what a good day looks like for them specifically. Our respite care offer means that families and carers can take a proper break knowing their loved one is being looked after well. We work hard to make respite stays feel settled and calm rather than disruptive, and many people who come to us for respite become familiar and happy faces over time. We are pleased that our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection resulted in a rating of good, which reflects the commitment of everyone in our team. We are always looking at how we can do better, and we welcome feedback from residents and families as a genuine part of how we operate. If you would like to find out more about life at Cambria House, we would be very happy to hear from you.
