The people who live at Pymhurst are encouraged to coexist as a family, having respect for each others feelings and possessions and to support each other while also maintaining individual lifestyle choices. Residents are encouraged to develop self help and independent living skills. All residents are involved in creating their person centred plans and health action plans which are regularly reviewed with them. Each resident has a keyworker whose role it is to ensure the residents needs are being met by holding regular meetings with them. House meetings are held every six weeks where residents can tell us their views and we can involve them in decisions and changes that may be happening.

The home has a team of enthusiastic and experienced staff who are facilitating individual life choices and helping overcome behavioural issues to promote fulfilling and happy lives. The staff team are lead by a dedicated and experienced manager and all staff participate in a continuing training programme.

Just Homes operates 6 care homes for adults with learning disabilities throughout Surrey and Berkshire.

Our aim is to help our service users create their own home to enable them to live a normal life.  We encourage them to develop new skills and maintain present skills to as high a level of independence as each is capable.

Our mission statement is…

‘Just Homes is committed to providing homes where people with learning disabilities are sure of love, trust and respect.  To be helped to have control over their own lives and to contribute to a true community in which everyone helps everyone else to give equally, by learning to value what others give before valuing themselves.’
