About Camellots Care Home
Camellots Care Home is a residential care home in Littlehampton, West Sussex, supporting adults who have a learning disability, autistic adults and people with physical disabilities. We also offer respite stays for people who need support for a shorter period. The people who live here call it home, and our job is to help each of them live the life they choose within it. We help with personal care where it is wanted, with cooking, laundry and shopping, with medication and appointments, and with managing money and correspondence. We also support people to get out locally, to keep up the activities they enjoy and to stay close to family and friends. Communication and routine matter a great deal, so we take time to learn how each person asks for help and what settles them when a day goes badly. We want to be honest about our rating. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We have taken the findings as a working list rather than a verdict, and we are strengthening our care planning, our staff training and supervision, and the way we record and review the support we give. Progress of that kind shows in small daily things, which is why anyone thinking about Camellots is welcome to visit, meet us, ask what has changed and see the house as it really is on an ordinary day.
