About Us

We are Villeneuve House, a residential care home in Southminster supporting adults with a learning disability and autistic adults. Most of the people who live here are younger adults.

The home works rather like a shared household. People have their own rooms arranged the way they want them, the rest of the house belongs to everybody, and decisions about how things run are made with the people living here rather than for them. Meals get planned together and cooked together where people want to be involved.

Support is built around the life each person wants. For some that means a full week of college, work or activities out in the community. For others it means a settled rhythm at home with familiar company. Both are entirely reasonable, and our job is to make either work properly. Where somebody wants to take on more for themselves, whether that is cooking, handling money or travelling independently, we work at it at their pace and we do not assume a ceiling on anybody.

Communication is the foundation of this work. We take time to learn how each person expresses what they want, in whatever form that takes, and we make sure that knowledge is shared with every member of staff.

We work closely with families, social workers and health professionals, and we offer respite stays as well as permanent places. Our most recent CQC overall rating is good. Please contact us to visit.
