About Us

Ormsby Lodge is a residential home in Southsea supporting adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, and people with a physical disability. Many of the people living here are younger adults, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places.

We should be straightforward about where we stand. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Requires Improvement. We would rather set that out plainly than leave a family or a professional to find it elsewhere. We understand what was identified, we are working through it, and we will discuss the detail with anyone who asks.

What we are working towards is what this kind of support should always rest on. People known properly as individuals rather than looked after as a group. Staff who understand how each person communicates and give them the time they need. A routine that belongs to the person rather than the building. Support that helps somebody do things for themselves instead of doing things to them. Records and reporting that are accurate and prompt.

Because many of the people here are younger adults, the point of all this is a life: friends, family, getting out, work or college where that is wanted, and real choices about the everyday.

If you are considering a placement or respite here, come and visit and ask us the difficult questions.
