About 26 Seabrook Road
26 Seabrook Road is a residential home in Hythe, Kent. We support adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, adults living with a mental health condition, and people with a physical disability. Most of the people here are younger adults, and respite stays are available alongside permanent places. The first thing worth saying is that this is a house on a road, not an institution. The people who live here have their own rooms and their own belongings and a genuine say in how a week looks. Support plans are agreed with the person and written in language the person can read. Staff are matched to people with some thought rather than allocated to whoever is on shift. Support means doing things with people and not to them. Cooking, shopping, budgeting, travel, appointments, keeping in touch with family. Where mental health is the central issue the work is mostly patient and ordinary, including keeping a routine steady when somebody is unwell. Where a physical disability is involved it is about equipment, access and allowing time. Hythe has the canal, the seafront and plenty within reach, and getting out into it is treated as ordinary life rather than an outing. Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Come and meet the people who live here.
