About Lyndhurst House

Lyndhurst House is a residential care home in Ashford, Kent. We support adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, including younger adults, and we offer respite stays for people who need a short break or whose family carer needs one. The house is run around the people who live in it. Everybody has a support plan written with them, in a form they can use, covering how they like to be supported, what they enjoy, what they find difficult and what they want their week to contain. Some people here like a clear structure and let us know when it slips. Others prefer to take things as they come. Both are supported properly. People go out into Ashford, keep up college, work, clubs and family contact, and we treat that as the purpose of the place rather than an extra to be fitted in when staffing allows. Communication gets close attention. Where somebody does not use speech, we learn the ways they do tell us things and make sure every member of the team knows them. When someone becomes distressed we look for the cause rather than the quickest way to stop it, and anything that limits a person's freedom is agreed formally, recorded and reviewed with the aim of reducing it. The Care Quality Commission rated us good overall at our most recent inspection. Families, advocates and professionals are welcome to visit.
