What We Do for Adults - Adult Residential Services

Mersea Road Houses

Autism Anglia has two houses on Mersea Road in Colchester.  Bourne House caters for four adults and Coldwell Villa houses five.

A homely atmosphere is one of the first things you notice when entering the houses.  The staff are relaxed, the lounges and kitchens are well presented and the service users all seem happy in their surroundings.

Coupled with the atmosphere, the staff encourage personal development and independence in each service user.  Supervision is provided appropriate to each individual, giving each person the encouragement, resources and safety needed for them to better understand the world around them.

Coldwell Villa

Coldwell Villa

Coldwell Villa houses 5 adults with Asperger's Syndrome.  Many of the adults in the house appear to be able to communicate with other people, but rely heavily on rituals or patterns in conversation and they can find it difficult to understand or relate to unusual circumstances or conversations.

All service users enjoy a full programme of activities, at Jigsaw, in the home and utilising local services in the community.


Bourne House

Bourne House was started after several service users in our Peldon campus made significant progress towards independence and it was felt that they would be better served in a new house.

With the bare minimum of staff support, this house runs like a normal home, with the service users buying their own shopping and cooking for each other.
