Overview
A delightful 12 bed home with full disability access ideally situated on the London-Kent border, The Drive offers industry leading residential care services for adults aged 18-65 with learning difficulties and associated complex needs. This may include mobility issues, needs arising from sensory deprivation, communication needs and associated health needs i.e. epilepsy. Residents at The Drive benefit from our creative solutions to their needs and a care plan tailor-made to their individual needs and preferences.
The Drive provides a safe, stable environment for service users to develop and thrive. We primarily focus on the emotional and physical wellbeing of service users, whilst simultaneously addressing issues of socialisation and normalisation. Our highly trained care staff offer 24-hour care and are able to develop positive relationships with service users. We believe that these relationships are pivotal in enabling service users to develop self-awareness, self-confidence and the ability to make choices and develop their social skills.
