About Bancroft House

Bancroft House is a residential care home in West Sussex, supporting people with learning disabilities, autism, or mental health support needs. Further detail on the CQC's most recent findings is set out below.

Bancroft House provides residential care and personal support for up to six people with learning disabilities, autism, or mental health support needs. The service operates from a large detached property with individual bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms for each resident, alongside shared living and eating areas. Staff implement systems to manage risks safely and prevent abuse, with clear procedures for responding to safety concerns.

The home assesses people's needs using evidence-based guidance to ensure they receive appropriate support and are not discriminated against. Residents achieve positive outcomes including reduced challenging behaviours and greater independence in exploring new experiences. Staff support people with maximum choice and control over their lives, using the least restrictive approaches in their best interests.

The service provides staff with access to training needed to meet individual resident needs effectively.
