About Bramerton

Bramerton is a residential home in Maidenhead supporting adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, including both older and younger adults. We offer permanent places and respite stays. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Outstanding. We mention it early because it is what people want to know, and then we would rather talk about what sits behind it, which is nothing dramatic. It is knowing each person properly, keeping the staff team settled enough that familiarity is real, learning how each individual communicates and giving them the time they need, and being honest when something has gone wrong. This is a house where people live rather than a service they happen to live inside. The people here have their own routines, their own interests and their own firm views about how things should work. Support is built around each of them: what they want to do with their time, the help they need to do it, and the parts of life they would rather handle themselves. Some need a great deal of support and others very little, and knowing when to step back is as much a part of the job as knowing when to step in. A rating describes one point in time. Keeping it meaningful means carrying on with the work. Families and professionals are welcome to visit and see the house for themselves.
