About Us

Daniel Kirby House is a residential care home in Chelmsford supporting adults with a learning disability or autism alongside older people who need residential care. It is a home rather than a placement, and the household is arranged around the people living in it.

Support is planned individually. It can include help with personal care, medication, cooking, laundry, managing money and getting to appointments, and it takes in the parts of life that matter just as much: friendships, going out, keeping up an interest, having something worthwhile in the week. We communicate in whatever way suits each person, and we give people the time to do things their own way rather than stepping in for the sake of speed. Where somebody wants more independence, we plan support that draws back as their confidence grows.

We support younger adults as well as older residents, and we do not assume that people want the same things simply because they share a roof. Respite stays are available too, giving family carers a real break and letting somebody try the house first.

We do not currently hold an overall rating from the Care Quality Commission. Please come and visit, meet the people who live here and ask us whatever you need to know.
