About 19 Forest Road

19 Forest Road is a small residential home in Bordon, Hampshire, and the first thing worth saying is that it is a house on a road, not an institution. We support adults with a learning disability and autistic adults. The people who live here are mostly younger adults, and for them this is home in the full sense of the word, not a placement. Because we are small, life here is not run to a timetable. People get up when they get up. The kitchen is used by the people who live in the house, not kept behind a door. Someone might be at college, someone might have a job or a volunteering day, someone might be out at a club or a gym, and someone might want a quiet week indoors. All of those are acceptable ways to live and none of them needs justifying to us. Our job is support, which means doing things with people rather than to them or for them. Budgeting, cooking, travel, appointments, keeping in touch with family, managing the parts of the world that are set up for a different kind of brain. Where someone needs routines and predictability to feel safe, we hold those routines carefully. We also offer respite, which gives families a break and gives the person a stay somewhere they get to know. The Care Quality Commission rates us good overall. Do come and meet the people who live here.
