About Willoughby House
Willoughby House is a residential care home in Sutton on Sea supporting adults with a learning disability and autistic adults. Most of the people who live here are younger adults, and we also offer respite stays. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We are saying so at the start rather than leaving it for a family to discover. We know which areas were identified, work is under way on them, and we will go through the detail honestly with anybody who asks. The work itself is about ordinary life supported well. The house belongs to the people who live in it, so the decisions that matter belong to them. What goes on the shopping list. How a bedroom looks. Whether Saturday means going out or staying in. Support is planned individually and reviewed as people change, because confidence and ambition do not stand still. For autistic people, we treat the environment as part of the care rather than the background. Noise, lighting, changes of staff and short notice can shape a whole week. Please come and visit, meet the people who live here and form your own view of the home.
