About this home

Durlston House is a residential home that provides support for adults with learning disabilities, autism spectrum conditions and behaviours that may challenge. The service aims to create a person-centred planning approach and help individuals live as independently as possible in a warm and welcoming environment.

Individuals are supported in making plans so they have control over their lives and increased independence skills whilst focusing on a PBS approach to reduce everyday anxieties. Staff will support people to take part in a range of activities that can enrich their everyday lives and involve them within the wider community. Staff are available 24 hours a day, including waking night staff when required.

Durlston House is in the perfect location, close to the local shops and restaurants, so individuals can easily go to the local town. There are great areas for walking, bike riding and visiting the local parks so people can enjoy the outdoors when they wish.

Lifestyle

People will also be assisted in the development of important life skills such as meal preparation, budgeting and finance, self-care and domestic tasks with a view to developing independent living.
