About Swerford House
Swerford House offers residential support for up to six autistic men or men with learning disabilities in a semi-rural home near Dover. The setting is intended for people who need a smaller residential environment, with support focused on personal goals, self-esteem and practical independence.
The home’s role is distinct from a general care setting because it supports a limited number of residents and provides a private-estate environment with views across the valley and nearby farmland. Its wider organisation also provides specialist support for complex needs and behaviours of distress. Residential support is limited to six males at this location.
