At Adisham House, we understand that choosing the right care home for a loved one is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. Located in the tranquil village of Adisham, just a short distance from Canterbury, we provide a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment for adults with learning disabilities, mental health challenges, and additional needs. Since its creation in 1983, Adisham House has proudly been owned and managed by different generations of the same single, local family.
Despite its adaptations and evolutions, the consistently high standards of care and family ethos have been maintained, fostering long-standing relationships with its many partners in the local community.
Adisham House is much more than just a place to live; it’s a home where residents can thrive and enjoy life to the fullest. Our beautiful, detached home is set within one acre of stunning grounds, complete with a flower garden, orchard, and vegetable plot. The serene surroundings offer a peaceful retreat, while our well-maintained gardens provide a space for relaxation, gardening, or simply enjoying the outdoors.
Inside, our home is designed with the needs of our residents in mind. We offer spacious, well-equipped rooms, each tailored to the individual’s preferences. Many rooms feature en-suite facilities and internet-enabled televisions, ensuring comfort and convenience. Whether you or your loved one requires assistance with mobility, specialised equipment, or simply a friendly, supportive community, Adisham House is here to provide a nurturing environment where clients are kept safe and supported.
At Adisham House, we believe that every person deserves care that is as unique as they are. Our approach is rooted in person-centred care, meaning that we tailor our services to meet the specific needs and wishes of each resident. We cater to a wide range of conditions, including autism, sensory impairments, and those with learning difficulties or behaviours of concern.
Working closely with residents, families, and professionals allows us to not only meet the fundamental needs of all parties but also to have a detailed understanding of people’s expectations and goals. Our dedicated team collaborates with residents and their families to develop personalised care plans that promote independence, dignity, and quality of life. We recognise that each individual’s needs may change over time, and we are committed to adapting our care to ensure that we continue to meet those needs, providing a ‘home for life’ where residents feel safe and supported as they age.
As a small, family-run care home, we pride ourselves on maintaining a warm, family atmosphere where residents, staff, and families all feel like part of one close-knit community. Our team is passionate about fostering strong relationships and ensuring that everyone who lives and works at Adisham House feels valued and included.
We believe that a strong sense of community is vital to the well-being of our residents. That’s why we encourage regular interaction with family and friends, as well as involvement in local community activities. Our communal spaces, such as the large kitchen, conservatory, and lounge, provide comfortable settings for socialising, while our extensive activities program ensures that there’s always something enjoyable to do.
The quality of care at Adisham House is underpinned by our exceptional team of dedicated professionals. All of our care staff are highly trained and committed to providing the best possible support for our residents. We invest heavily in training and development, ensuring that our team is equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to meet the complex needs of those in our care.
Our management team holds qualifications at level 5 as a minimum, while all care staff are encouraged to pursue further qualifications, such as diplomas in health and social care. This focus on continuous improvement and professional development ensures that we are always able to provide high-quality, up-to-date care for our residents.
At Adisham House, we are not only committed to providing outstanding care but also to operating in an environmentally responsible way. We have implemented a comprehensive sustainability program that includes the use of solar panels, electric vehicles, and a dedicated wilding area in our garden. We also offer free charging for staff vehicles to encourage the use of electric cars.
Our approach to sustainability reflects our broader commitment to innovation in care. We are always seeking new ways to enhance the quality of life for our residents, whether through the introduction of new technologies, the adaptation of our facilities, or the development of new care strategies. Our goal is to create a care environment that is not only supportive and nurturing but also forward-thinking and sustainable.
