About Anderida

We are a residential home in Ashford supporting adults with learning disabilities, autistic people and people living with mental health conditions. The house runs as a household rather than a service. People living here have their own rooms and their own belongings and a real say in how the place works, from what is cooked to what happens at the weekend. For adults who have often had decisions taken on their behalf, that ordinary degree of control is central to what we are trying to do. Support is arranged around the individual. For some people the priority is staying well: medication, appointments, noticing early when things are becoming difficult and having staff nearby who know them well enough to see it. For others it is about doing more, whether that means work, college, volunteering, managing money with a hand from us, or getting out regularly and keeping up with family. Predictability counts for a good deal here, particularly for autistic people, so we keep our staffing as consistent as we can and avoid changing arrangements without warning and explanation. Respite stays are available as well as longer places, which can give a family a planned break while the person stays somewhere settled. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. If you are looking for a place for yourself or someone in your family, please come and visit and ask us whatever you need to.
