About SeeAbility - Views
Surrey Views is a residential care home in Leatherhead in Surrey, part of SeeAbility. We support adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults, people living with sight or hearing loss, and younger adults, and we offer respite stays for people who usually live elsewhere. A good deal of what we do concerns people who live with both a learning disability and sight loss, and that combination is often badly understood. It means small habits carry an enormous amount of weight. Saying who you are as you come into a room rather than assuming you are recognised. Leaving furniture exactly where it lives. Describing what is about to happen before it happens. Checking that glasses are clean and hearing aids actually working. We build those into the ordinary day rather than treating them as extra care. Beyond that, this is somebody's home and they run it. Rooms are arranged by the people in them. The shopping is decided by the people who will eat it. Weekend plans belong to whoever is going. We ask instead of assuming and we accept being turned down. Understanding how each person communicates is central here, particularly where speech is not the main route. We learn each person's way, write it down so that everybody responds identically, and keep checking we have understood. The Care Quality Commission rated us good at our most recent inspection, and we keep asking the people living here what should change.
