Residential Homes for Adults with Disabilities

What is residential care?

Residential care is a more supervised support option that gives you peace of mind that you’ll always 24/7 support.

Residential care homes usually accommodate several individuals who each have their own bedroom, but perhaps share communal areas including the lounge, living room, dining space and kitchen facilities. There may also be shared bathroom facilities.

But having 24/7 support in a residential care home doesn’t mean limited independence. We actively encourage everyone we support to live as active a lifestyle as they wish and to achieve their full potential, through participation in the activities that they are interested in.

One benefit of residential care is that there can be a bigger choice of facilities available at the home. For example, some of our residential homes have on-site swimming pools, sensory gardens, rooms and more. There’s also sometimes more scope for social interaction as there are more people living at the home than there might be in a supported living setting.

Who is residential adult care for? 

We can help you if you’re an adult over the age of 18, or soon to be, and are looking for somewhere to live that gives you 24/7 support.  Here at Achieve together, we’re proud to support adults with learning disabilities and autism spectrum conditions, who may also have complex needs and challenging behaviours, mental health challenges, are deaf and/or blind.

How much do residential care homes cost? 

To access a residential care home, you’ll need to consider how you’ll fund your support. You should speak to your social care worker and/or healthcare providers about this as they’ll be able to work with you to agree on what funding they can provide you with.

If you’d like us to help you arrange this, just contact our Referrals Hub. Our assessments and placements team will be happy to guide you through the process with you and your social worker.

How can we support you?

We can help you with every stage of your journey towards living in one of our residential care homes. This could be:

• What funding might be available for me to pay for residential care support?
• How can I find out what life’s like in a residential care home?
• What care homes are there near me?
• How will I manage the application and referrals process?
• How long does it take to find and move into my preferred home?

Our homes offer specialised services, too. We partner with many local and national organisations and experts to create your own team of dedicated professionals. This can include language and speech therapists, dementia experts, support for end of life and specialist providers for people with profound and complex needs.

We’re proud that many of our homes are rated either ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’, so you know you’re always in safe hands when you choose Achieve together.
