About this home

Walderslade House is a supported living service for young people aged 18-65 with learning disabilities and or autism spectrum conditions in the transition from residential college, foster care or the family home.

The service is able to support individuals from the age of 18 as part of a transitional model of support we promote at Achieve together. In each case, we would work closely with all parties to ensure an agreed approach is put in place to help an individual make that transition on to adulthood a positive one.

The service promotes independence and supports young people to access further education, employment, social and recreational activities. Person-centred transition plans are developed for each individual to develop their budgeting skills and to become more independent in all areas of their lives.

What we offer

Walderslade is a large detached bungalow in Chatham within walking distance of local amenities. The service has been completely refurbished to a very high standard and has five large en-suite bedrooms plus communal areas. In addition to a large kitchen, the service has a lounge and dining room as well as a secure private garden.

The service is ideally located near to local amenities such as shops, restaurants, parks and leisure facilities so people can easily access the community.

Lifestyle

People at Walderslade are supported to lead active lives and are can take part in a range of activities that build on social and communication skills. These include swimming at the local leisure centre, cinema trips, cycling, walks in the park and attending day centres. Everyone at the service also enjoys maintaining the garden.

Staff will support people in the development of their life skills such as meal preparation, cooking, budgeting and self-care with a view to moving on to independent living.

Individuals will also be supported in maintaining and identifying any work placements and/or volunteering in order to build on independence. Some people currently have voluntary work placements at Oxfam, Royal British Legion and the nearby RSPCA.
