Maple House

Maple House provides 24 hour support for 6 adults with learning disabilities, Autism and/or challenging behaviour. We aim to provide a safe and homely environment, where all individuals can make their own choices about the support they receive. We do everything we can to improve the health and wellbeing of the individuals we support and as a team we are focused on building positive outcomes for everyone.

Overview of Service

Maple House provides 24 hour support for 6 adults with learning disabilities, Autism and/or challenging behaviour. 1:1 support can be arranged when needed.

All individuals are involved in designing their own Person Centred Plan, with staff support. The plans are tailored to suit individual needs and provide the correct level of support required. They also enable all individuals to make their own choices about the support they receive. We encourage and support those at Maple House to recognise and identify their goals and ambitions and how they would like to go about meeting them.

Maple House promotes Craegmoor's communication strategy "Your Voice", which encourages individuals, based on their preferred method of communication, to voice their views about the support they receive. Monthly meetings are held where individuals are able to represent the views and voices of others living at the service.

What it's Like to Live Here

There are many activities to get involved in at Maple House, both in and out of the service. These include taking part in gardening groups, going horse riding, going swimming and playing tennis. There are also opportunities for individuals to develop their housekeeping, cooking and computer skills.

We are also close to Dover castle, which provides an enjoyable day out.
