About this home

St Christopher’s is a specialist supported housing service currently undergoing refurbishment in Westgate-on-Sea, Kent, that supports men and women, aged 18 and over, who are deaf or have hearing loss and additional support needs such as learning disabilities, autism and mental ill-health. We provide housing-related support to enable people to live as independently as possible in a safe and homely environment.

Whatever a person wants to achieve, we’re here to empower them, supporting with things like benefits and managing money, to going to college, finding a job and moving on to more independent living. Our team is available within agreed support hours throughout the day, and there are team members on call at night in case of an emergency.

What we offer

St Christopher currently has 7 self-contained flats, each with its own kitchen, bathroom, and living room. There’s also an outdoor communal garden area, set across two levels, which is open to people we support. In Spring 2022, there will be two new ground-floor flats available.

Here at St Christopher’s, there’s a real sense of community, with people we support often choosing to socialise together in their apartments with support from our teams.

The property directly overlooks the beautiful sandy beaches of Westgate, boasting stunning sea views from some of the rooms inside. The service is also close to shops, restaurants, a cinema, and the railway station, and there are coastal walks and a good bus service into Margate and Canterbury, and around the local area. Westgate also has train services into London.

Lifestyle

Our experienced team at St Christopher’s gets to know each person we support so well that we know when a person needs help and when to let them do things for themselves.

We work closely with each person, their family, support network and healthcare professionals to create a tailored support plan so we know how each person wants to be supported and what they want to achieve, as well as their preferred method of communication.

People can come and go as they please at St Christopher’s and they tell us they really feel at home. There’s a strong and supportive family atmosphere here that visitors often comment on.
