About Ellenborough Court
Ellenborough Court is a residential care home in Weston Super Mare, North Somerset. We support adults with a learning disability, adults on the autistic spectrum and people living with mental health conditions, and we also offer respite stays. We run this as a house that people live in rather than a facility they are placed in, and that governs almost everything. People choose how their days go, what they eat, when they go out and who they spend time with. Staff are here to make those choices workable, whether that means support with personal care, help managing medication, assistance with cooking and shopping, or going along to an appointment because it is easier with company. Communication gets real attention. People tell us what they want and how they are feeling in very different ways, and part of the work is learning each person's way and then acting on what we are told rather than recording it and moving on. Being near the coast and the town means life here does not have to happen indoors, and we encourage people to keep whatever connections and interests matter to them. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Visitors are welcome, and we would much rather show you the place than describe it on a page.
