About Durlston House
Durlston House is a care home in Trowbridge, providing residential care for adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults, including younger adults, and offering respite stays. We think of this as somebody's home first and a care setting second, and we try to keep it that way in the small decisions. People choose how their own rooms look, get involved in shopping and cooking, and decide what to do with their time. Support turns up where it is needed and holds back where it is not, which takes more attention than simply doing everything. Ordinary life outside the house is part of the point. Jobs, courses, clubs, friends, family, the town itself. Wiltshire is a reasonable place to get about in and we make sure people do, rather than allowing a week to shrink down to the building and the garden. New arrivals are given time. Visits, overnight stays, contact with whoever knows the person best and no pressure to make a quick decision. Moves made in a hurry tend to come apart, and the person bears the cost. For autistic adults, a steady staff team and advance notice of changes make a real difference, so we protect both. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Do come and see the house on an ordinary day and ask us whatever you like.
