About L'Arche Bethany
L'Arche Bethany in Bognor Regis is a residential care home supporting adults with learning disabilities. We think of the house as belonging to the people who live in it, and life here is built around sharing it rather than running it for somebody. People arrange their own rooms, take part in the shopping and cooking as much as they want to, and decide how their days are spent. We support people to get out to work, to college, to clubs, to appointments and to see family, because a home is somewhere you go out from and come back to. Support is individual and agreed with the person. Some here need a great deal of help and others very little. Communication gets particular attention, using speech, signing, symbols, objects of reference or simply the understanding that grows from living alongside somebody over a long period. Without that, choice is a word rather than a fact. Short respite stays are available alongside permanent places, which can give a family carer a break or let somebody try the house first. Our most recent rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please contact us if you would like to visit.
