About Baytree House
Baytree House is a residential care home in Worthing, West Sussex, supporting adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults. We aim to run a household rather than an institution. People choose how they spend their days, take part in cooking, shopping and looking after the house if they want to, and arrange their rooms as they please. Support is agreed with each person, written so that they can understand and check it, and reviewed with them rather than decided about them. Most of what makes support work is attention to detail. We learn how somebody communicates, what they enjoy, what unsettles them and what helps on a difficult day. For autistic residents we take particular care over predictability, quiet space and clear information about what happens next. We also offer respite stays, giving families a planned break while their relative is somewhere familiar. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We would rather say that ourselves than have you come across it elsewhere. We know which areas were identified, we have an improvement plan and we are working through it with the staff team. If you want to know what has changed and what is still in hand, ask us directly and we will tell you. Please get in touch if you would like to look round and judge the place for yourself.
