About The Autistic Trust - 118 Beaver Lane
Here at The Kent Autistic Trust on Beaver Lane in Ashford, we provide specialist residential care for adults with autism and learning disabilities. We are proud to have received an Outstanding rating from the Care Quality Commission, a reflection of the genuine commitment our whole team brings to the people who call this home their own. We understand that moving into a care home is a significant step, and we work hard to make sure every person here feels genuinely settled, respected and understood. Autism shapes the way people experience the world, and we build our approach around that understanding. Routines, communication preferences and sensory needs all matter to us, and we take the time to get to know each individual properly rather than fitting people into a one size fits all model. Our team has real depth of knowledge in supporting autistic adults, and that expertise shows in the relationships we build and the outcomes we see. We work closely with families and with each person we support to create plans that reflect who they are, what they enjoy and where they want to go in life. We are honest, approachable and always open to feedback because we know the people who live here and the families who trust us with their care deserve nothing less. Being based in Ashford means we are well connected to local communities, activities and services, and we encourage everyone to engage with life beyond our front door as much as they wish to. If you are thinking about residential care for yourself or someone you love, we would genuinely welcome the chance to have a conversation. Please do get in touch and come and see us on Beaver Lane. We are always happy to show you around and answer any questions you might have.
