Maidstone Road is one of our specialist autism services located in a quiet residential area of Medway. Here, we offer support for up to six people with autism, challenging behaviours, learning disabilities, and mental health needs.
Supporting you
The people we support receive person-centred support, tailored to their individual needs. We work with them to set and achieve their goals so they can lead happy, meaningful lives.
Some residents at 579 Maidstone Road engage in joint activities with residents at 351 Maidstone Road, our brother home down the road. Our favourite activities include, theatre trips, attending clubs and discos and visiting local sites of historical interest. We also encourage housemates to access college courses to develop their skills and enjoy social activities with friends such as swimming and horse riding. We also love a delicious BBQ together, come rain or shine!
We empower the people we support to follow their own faith and cultural beliefs in a way that’s meaningful to them. One of our residents plays an active role in her local church and takes part in Sunday service where she sits amongst friends, with her support staff on hand if she needs them!
Facilities
Comprising five bedrooms and one self-contained flat in the garden, our home offers spacious communal areas, including a living room for relaxing, and a large kitchen diner, where residents can prepare meals.
Our beautiful gardens offer plenty of space for outdoor gatherings and celebrations in the warmer months, with sun traps for those that prefer peace and quiet.
The team
Our diverse team are experienced in supporting individuals with a variety of needs. Each resident has their own preferred routine and support needs, and our team is trained to support them to live the life they choose.
We have strengthened our knowledge by completing specific training for each resident, to ensure we continue to deliver care and support that meets individual needs.
