About Burrow Down Residential Home

Burrow Down Residential Home in Paignton, Torbay, supports adults living with learning disabilities and autism and adults with physical disabilities. Physical disability alongside a learning disability is often treated as a problem of equipment, and equipment matters, but the more important question is what somebody actually wants their life to contain and what stands between them and it. Sometimes that is a hoist or a wheelchair. Just as often it is transport, timing, or staff willing to plan an outing properly rather than decide it is too complicated. We support people with personal care, mobility, medication and the practical parts of the day, and we work with them on the skills that widen their options. Communication is planned around each individual, because being properly understood is what makes choice real rather than theoretical, and the people who live here are adults with their own opinions about how things should be done. Respite stays are available for short periods of support or to give a family carer a planned break. Anyone considering a place here is welcome to visit, meet us and see whether the house feels right.
