About Clifford House
Clifford House is a residential care home in Newbury supporting adults, including younger adults, adults with learning disabilities and autism, and people who have sight or hearing loss. We also offer planned respite stays. The people who live here are adults with their own lives to lead, and our job is to make those lives possible rather than to manage them. Everybody has their own room, their own routine and a real say in how the house runs. Our staff help with personal care, medicines, meals, money and the ordinary work of a household, and we stand back wherever somebody can manage alone, because independence is easily eroded by being helpful. The particulars are where the work lies. How a person communicates, what makes an environment tolerable, how much notice they need before something changes, and which parts of the day they would rather handle themselves are all things we learn from the person rather than assume from a diagnosis. Where somebody has sight or hearing loss, we take care over how we approach and speak with them, which costs nothing and changes how every interaction feels. We also support people to have a life beyond the building, keeping up with family and friends and getting to the activities, groups, work or education they care about. Please come and visit, and spend time with the people who already live here.
