About The Beeches Residential Home
The Beeches Residential Home is in Canterbury, Kent. We support older people who need help through the day, adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, and adults living with a mental health condition. Some of the people here are younger adults, and respite stays are available alongside permanent places. That mix shapes how we run the house. There is no single timetable everybody follows. Some of the people here go out to college, work or a club during the week and come back with plenty to say about it. Others prefer the quiet of their own room and the garden, and that is an equally reasonable way to spend a day. We work out what each person's day ought to look like and then make the house fit around it rather than the other way round. Support plans are agreed with the person and written so the person can read them. Staff are matched to people with some thought rather than allocated to whoever is on shift. When something is not working we change it rather than defending it. Canterbury is a city people are attached to, and several of the people living here are out in it most days. We have not yet had a full inspection by the Care Quality Commission, so there is no rating to show you. Come and visit instead.
