About Us

Humberston is a residential care home near Grimsby. We support older people and adults with learning disabilities, including autistic adults and younger adults, and we offer both permanent places and respite stays. Because the people who live here have quite different needs, we take care to be specific rather than general. For an older resident that may mean unhurried help with washing and dressing, safe support with moving about, medication given properly and somebody nearby at night. For an adult with a learning disability or an autistic adult it may mean a predictable routine, clear information given in good time, help to manage money and appointments, and support to get out to a job, a course or a club. Each plan is written with the individual and reviewed properly. Respite matters here as well. A planned short stay gives a family carer a genuine break and lets the person get to know us gradually rather than arriving in a crisis. We try to keep the house feeling ordinary. Food is cooked here and people are asked what they would like, there is somewhere sociable and somewhere quiet, and visitors do not need an appointment. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please arrange to visit, meet the people who live with us and see how the house runs.
