Durham Street

About Us

Durham Street is a residential care home in Hull supporting adults with a learning disability or autism, adults with physical disabilities and people with a visual or hearing impairment. It is a home rather than a placement, and the household is arranged around the people living in it.

Support is individual and practical. It can include help with personal care, medication, cooking, laundry, managing money and getting to appointments, and it takes in the parts of life that matter just as much: friendships, going out, keeping up an interest, having something worthwhile in the week. We communicate in whatever way suits each person, adapting for sight and hearing where that is needed, and we help people move about safely without taking over from them. We give people the time to do things their own way rather than stepping in for the sake of speed, and where somebody wants more independence we plan support that draws back as their confidence grows.

Respite stays are available too, giving family carers a real break and letting somebody find out how the house feels before anything permanent is decided.

Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and visit, meet the people who live here and see how the place actually runs.
