Services
St. Leonards Place has been offering support to individuals on the autism spectrum. Our services encompass registered care, domiciliary care, and specialized supported living.
Residential Care
At St Leonards Place, we provide specialist residential care for people with learning disabilities and autism, delivering support that is as unique as the individuals we serve.
Our approach is firmly rooted in person-centred care. We take the time to understand each person's strengths, preferences, and aspirations, enabling us to tailor support that promotes independence, confidence, and overall wellbeing.
Our goal is to empower individuals to achieve meaningful outcomes in all areas of their lives by offering the right balance of guidance and encouragement.
We are passionate about creating opportunities for personal growth. This includes encouraging positive risk-taking, developing life skills, and supporting individuals to explore new experiences in a safe and supportive environment. Every achievement, no matter how small, is valued and celebrated.
St Leonards Place is fully registered and regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), ensuring that we consistently meet high standards of care and support. Our inspection reports are available on the CQC website, providing transparency and reassurance to families and professionals.
Communication is at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to ensuring that every individual has a voice, regardless of how they choose to communicate. By actively listening and adapting to each person's preferred communication style, we create an environment where individuals feel heard, respected, and in control of their lives.
Domiciliary Care
St Leonards Place is proud to extend its trusted, high-quality care into the local community through our dedicated domiciliary care service, supporting residents within our cul-de-sac on Hallsfield Road, Maidstone Road and Sadlers Close in Chatham (ME5 9).
Our service is truly unique. Being based just moments away from the people we support allows us to provide responsive, flexible care with a personal touch. We know our community, and we are committed to delivering support that feels familiar, reassuring, and dependable.
Our dedicated and experienced team offers tailored care that promotes independence, dignity, and wellbeing in the comfort of each person's own home. Whether it is assistance with daily routines, personal care, or companionship, we provide the same high standards of care that St Leonards Place is known for.
Our domiciliary visits are also our way of giving back to the neighbourhood around our care home, strengthening connections and ensuring local residents can benefit from a trusted provider on their doorstep. By keeping care close to home, we provide continuity, build long-term relationships and help people feel safe, supported and valued within their own community.
We understand the complexities surrounding shared or solitary accommodation, particularly concerning autistic individuals. Consequently, we take proactive steps to address issues related to resource-sharing, isolation, and loneliness for those we support.
To provide this personalized support, we maintain a team of well-trained, supportive, and compassionate staff who are dedicated to the care and well-being of the individuals we serve.
