Stockton-on-Tees

We provide specialist complex care services for children.

Located near the vibrant town of Stockton-on-Tees, we provide residential care for children up to age 18 with seven bedrooms. We offer intensive levels of support and care to help the young people we care for develop social and life skills in a carefully considered environment.

We understand that all the children we support have different needs, so alongside their key workers, families and medical professionals we ensure the support we provide is bespoke in every detail. Each child has a comprehensive support plan which covers every aspect of their care and support, taking in to account any concerns and issues that may arise and ensuring all needs and requirements are met enabling them to live the very best life possible.

Providing 24-hour care and support, our aim is to help young people develop their social and educational skills in a safe, secure environment. We want our young people to not only feel protected and safe, but also to be able to grow and believe in themselves and to achieve more in their lives than they thought possible.

Our wonderful team understand that a holistic approach is necessary to ensure those in our care are safe, happy and healthy. We promote and fulfil the company values of being caring, honest, pro-active, and empowering for those we support.

We encourage our young people to attend school during their stay with us, wherever possible, and to join us on fun day trips out to theme parks, the seaside or wherever their interests lie.

Conditions we support, but are not limited to:

  • Asperger’s syndrome
  • autistic spectrum disorder
  • Down’s syndrome
  • ADHD
  • challenging behaviours
  • epilepsy
  • learning disabilities
