About Ann Coleman Centre

The Ann Coleman Centre is a care home in Bristol, providing residential care for adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults, along with respite stays. The house is run as a home and the people living here are treated as the ones in charge of their own lives. They choose how their rooms look, get involved in shopping and cooking, and decide what to do with their time. Staff are here for the parts of life that are genuinely hard and step back from everything else, because independence is more often worn away by helpfulness than by neglect. We think a lot about what fills a week. Work, courses, clubs, friendships, family visits, and simply getting out into Bristol. It is easy for a house like this to become the whole of somebody's world, and we regard that as a failure rather than an inevitability. New arrivals are given time, with visits beforehand and a proper handover from whoever knows the person best. Moves that are rushed tend to unravel, and the person bears the cost of that. Respite stays are prepared with the same care, because a short stay that goes badly helps no one. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are considering the house for yourself or for someone in your family, please come and visit and see what a normal day here looks like.
