About SeeAbility Fairways Residential Care Home

SeeAbility Fairways Residential Care Home is a residential care home in Hampshire providing support to people with sight loss and multiple disabilities. Full details from the most recent CQC inspection are set out below.

This residential care home accommodates up to six people with sight loss and multiple disabilities. At the time of inspection, all six residents were living there with visual impairments, moderate to severe learning disabilities and hearing difficulties. Some people had very limited verbal communication skills, and staff supported them to access activities in the community.

The home operates according to principles of choice, promotion of independence and inclusion, enabling residents with learning disabilities and autism to live as ordinary a life as possible.
