About Shaftsbury House
Residential care at Shaftsbury House is designed for people with learning disabilities who need support while developing greater independence. The home also supports older people and adults with dementia, mental health needs or physical disabilities, within a care-home setting without nursing.
The house has 11 individual bedrooms across two floors, with a lift and mostly wheelchair-friendly rooms. Each room includes a toilet, handbasin and built-in wardrobes, while a bedsit-style apartment with its own kitchen and wet room supports rehabilitation and preparation for moving on. Daily support can include living skills, medication and help at home. Referrals begin with a discussion about requirements, followed by a pre-admission assessment.
