Residential Support
Adult Support
We operate services across the West Midlands that provide residential care to autistic adults. All our services are rated ‘Good’ by CQC.
These homes vary in size from small to large. Three are in south Birmingham, two in north Solihull and one in Droitwich. We believe in the potential of each person, so residents in all of these homes are encouraged to take part in leisure and education activities within the community.
We have extensive experience of supporting people to gain,maintain and develop greater independence. We have supported people in our residential care homes to move to more independent living models and supported living. This has always been delivered through a multi-agency approach involving the person and key people throughout the process with a focus on reducing
dependency on paid support and always focuses on achieving the person’s goals.
