About 15 Seabrook

15 Seabrook is a small residential care home in Hythe in Kent. We support adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults, people managing mental health conditions and younger adults, and we offer respite stays for people whose usual home is elsewhere. Being a small house is the point rather than a limitation. Everybody knows everybody, nobody gets lost in a system, and the week can genuinely be arranged around the actual preferences of the people living here rather than around a compromise that suits nobody. Rooms belong to the people in them. The shopping is decided by the people who will eat it. Where anybody goes at the weekend is their own decision. A good deal of what we do is about widening what is possible rather than filling the day. Cooking something you actually want. Getting confident with money. Managing a journey into town alone. Keeping a course, a job or a friendship going. Progress can be slow and can go backwards, and our part is to keep the opportunity open without pressure. Supporting mental health here is mostly about not wobbling. We keep to what we have agreed, we notice when somebody is not themselves, and we make it easy to talk without a formal arrangement. We have not yet been given an overall rating by the Care Quality Commission. You are very welcome to visit, look around and ask us anything you need to know.
