About this home

Roper House is a specialist residential home without nursing in Canterbury, Kent that provides 24-hour support to 27 deaf and/or deafblind men and women over the age of 50. The people we support have a range of diverse and sometimes complex needs including learning and physical disabilities, mental health problems and dementia.

The team at Roper House aims to support the people who use our service to gain the knowledge and skills they need to reach their potential. We empower people to develop their independence, establish and/or improve their communication skills, maintain their personal health and wellbeing and develop social and leisure interests.

What we offer

Roper House has 24 bedrooms and three supported living flats. Most of our bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms. There’s a wide range of facilities for people to use, including two living rooms with TV and DVD players, a large dining area and separate kitchen and specially adapted bathrooms and toilets. The home also has an activities room, lovely grounds, a conservatory, plus access to a car.

Every person we support gets their own set of keys and can come and go as they wish. They’re welcome to decorate their room or flat and bring their own furniture if it helps them feel more at home.

Roper House is within easy reach of the centre of Canterbury, the Kent coast and countryside. We’re close to shops, restaurants, pubs, cinemas and theatres, as well as the railway station, with connections to the Kent coast, Ashford, Maidstone and London.

Lifestyle

The Roper House team supports everyone to develop their independence at their own pace. The people we support are encouraged to do tasks for themselves, to play a part in the wider community and in how the home is run. This includes helping to plan menus, do the food shopping or helping to keep the gardens looking fantastic.

Our commitment to person-centred care means that we communicate with each person in the way that works best for them. We work with people we support, their families and support network, as well as other professionals to create a care and support package which is regularly reviewed.

We also believe in continuously working to improve everything we do, and the people we support help us to do that too.
