Welcome to
Coggeshall Road
At Coggeshall Road, we provide a warm and nurturing environment tailored to the unique needs of our residents.
Our two charming homes consist of a four-bedroom property for ladies and a four-bedroom property for gentlemen, ensuring a supportive atmosphere where everyone can thrive.
Located in a peaceful area with a private drive and beautiful gardens, our homes feature shared communal spaces and individual ensuite bathrooms, creating a perfect blend of community and privacy. We have created a warm, welcoming environment where residents are proud to call their space home. Many enjoy making tea or coffee for guests and welcoming visitors, which helps foster social confidence and a sense of ownership in their daily lives.
Our homes are designed to support individuals with a variety of needs, making them suitable for residents with learning disabilities, mental health conditions, autism, dementia, diabetes, physical disabilities, and epilepsy.
We work closely with residents to set achievable goals that build confidence, encourage independence, and celebrate individual progress. This person-centred approach helps boost self-esteem and empowers each person to shape their own future.
Every resident receives a level of core support funded by social care, with additional 1:1 hours allocated depending on assessed need. We can also offer privately funded support hours for those who wish to receive extra assistance, such as extended community time, personalised activities, or additional companionship.
