About 351 Maidstone Road
Our home on Maidstone Road in Gillingham is a small residential setting where adults with a learning disability and autistic adults live with the support they need to run their own lives. It is a house in an ordinary street, and that ordinariness is the point. We support younger adults and adults of working age, and we start from what the person wants rather than from a template. That might mean help with personal care and health appointments, support to cook, shop and manage money, or help to get to college, work or a regular activity. It might equally mean knowing when to step back. People here are entitled to make choices, including ones we might not make ourselves, and part of our job is to support those decisions safely. Understanding how each person communicates and what helps them feel settled is the foundation of everything else. We take our time with that, and we write it down properly so that every member of the team works the same way. We also offer respite stays for people who live with family, giving everyone a planned break in a place that quickly becomes familiar. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are considering a placement in Medway, please come and see the house for yourself.
