About Eden Cottage
Eden Cottage is a care home on Romney Marsh. We provide residential care for adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, mostly younger adults, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. This is a house, and it is meant to feel like one. The people living here decide what goes on the shopping list, what gets cooked, how their rooms look and how they spend their time. Some go out to work or to college, some use local groups and facilities, and some prefer a quieter week with a few things they enjoy properly. We do not rank those. Being somewhere rural means getting out takes deliberate planning rather than happening by itself, and we plan for it rather than letting a week quietly narrow to the house and the garden. The effort goes into communication and predictability. Where somebody does not use speech, we learn how they tell us things, and changes are explained well in advance. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families and social workers are welcome to visit and ask us anything.
