About Halland House
Halland House is a residential care home in Lewes supporting adults with a learning disability or autism, with respite stays available as well as permanent places. For the people who live here this is home, and we try never to lose sight of that. People decide how their own day goes, what they eat, what they do and who they see, and our staff are here to make those decisions possible rather than to narrow them down. Some people want a full week with plenty going on, others want quiet and routine, and both are respected without argument. Where somebody is autistic, we pay attention to the things that are easy to overlook. Noise, light, warning before change, whether a room feels safe, how a request is phrased. We explain what is going to happen before it happens, keep the shape of the week consistent, and communicate in whatever form works for the person. If somebody becomes distressed, we treat it as something to understand rather than something to stop. We also support people to develop practical skills at their own pace, from cooking and laundry to handling money and getting about locally, because independence tends to grow when it is practised rather than talked about. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you would like to look round or discuss a placement, please contact us.
