About this home

Thoughtfully designed homes for independent living

The Chestnuts is a welcoming residential home designed for adults with autism spectrum conditions and behaviours that may challenge.

We take a person-centred planning approach, tailoring support to each individual’s unique needs while focusing on positive outcomes. Our dedicated team works closely with people we support, their families, and healthcare professionals to ensure the highest quality of support.

At The Chestnuts, we encourage independence while providing the right level of support to help individuals thrive. People are empowered to take part in meaningful activities that enrich their lives, promote personal growth, and foster a sense of community.
