Support built around you
Everyone is different, so we get to know what matters to each person and build their support around their needs, choices, interests and relationships.
People are encouraged and supported to take an active role in daily life at home, whether that means shopping, cooking or helping to organise activities and social events.
Support is also shaped around people’s individual interests and goals, helping them to have as much choice and control over their daily life as possible.
Our home has a welcoming, homely feel, with plenty of opportunities to spend time with other people or enjoy your own space.
People are supported to get out and about in the local community in ways that matter to them. This might include going shopping, having lunch out, seeing a film, attending a day service, using a hydrotherapy pool, taking part in rebound therapy or going to watch the local football team.
The home has an adapted vehicle to help people get out and about. Where possible, people are also supported to use local public transport and build their confidence and connections in the community.
We are based in Stone, close to Dartford and Bluewater shopping centre.
