About Deerhurst

Deerhurst is a residential care home in Bristol. We support older people who need daily care, adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, people living with mental health conditions, and younger adults who need residential support. Because the people who live here are so different from one another, we do not run one routine and expect everybody to fit it. We take time to understand how each person communicates, what they enjoy, what unsettles them and what they want their week to look like, and the support follows from that. Some people want company and things happening; others want their own space with help within reach, and both are treated as perfectly reasonable. We also offer respite stays, which can give a family carer a proper break and give the person staying a change of scene with support they can rely on. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission was good. We keep our own standards under review between inspections, since that is where they are actually held. If you are looking for a home or a short stay for yourself or someone in your family, come and see us. Visit on an ordinary day, meet the people who live here, and ask us whatever you need to know.
