"Our House is a happy, safe environment where Housemates thrive with the help of amazing staff that go above and beyond. Where parents can relax in the knowledge  that the housemates are at the centre of everything that goes on. Everyone matters, the housemates, the staff, the families and the amazing owners!
If I could, I'd give Our House 11/10!!".

I always get a friendly welcome in a happy atmosphere when I visit my grandson. He loves living there".

OUR FAMILIES

OUR PEOPLE

"On our initial visit to Our House Ed burst through the door and immediately made himself at home! He was welcomed with open arms - even though he insisted on inspecting all of the cupboards in the kitchen! Instinctively we knew he would be looked after, protected, and encouraged to make his own choices. Sarah and Nick have created a fantastic environment which enables all of the housemates to thrive while at the same time respecting their dignity. All the staff understand the importance of what they do and we are forever grateful to all of them".

Hello!

We set up Our House after our Son, Luke experienced poor care as an adult. As parents we have spent Luke's life advocating for the best support for him.  We wanted Luke to be able to have maximum choice and control over his life in a place he can call home, where he is happy, healthy and well supported and to live with people who have the same aspirations.

With support from Tom, our Operations Director we set up Our House which opened in 2018.
