About The Kent Autistic Trust - 11a Curlew Crescent

11a Curlew Crescent, part of The Kent Autistic Trust, is a small residential home in Strood supporting autistic adults and adults with a learning disability. Because the house is small, it can genuinely be built around the people who live in it, and that is the point of it. Support here is individual. It can include help with personal care, medication, cooking, laundry, managing money and getting to appointments, and it takes in the things that make a week worth having: seeing people, going out, keeping up an interest, having plans of your own. A predictable routine and an environment that is not overwhelming matter greatly to the people we support, so we pay close attention to both. We communicate in whatever way suits each individual, and we give people the time to do things their own way rather than stepping in because it would be faster. Where somebody wants greater independence, we plan support that draws back steadily as their confidence grows. Respite stays are available too, which can give a family carer a real break and let somebody get used to the house before anything permanent is discussed. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and visit, meet the people who live here and see how the household actually works day by day.
