Queens Road is a community-based service where support is available 24 hours a day. We enable the people living here to become as independent as possible, promoting learning and development upon existing life skills.
There is a supermarket at the end of the road and a major bus route into town or a ten minute walk if preferred.
The house is five minutes from Mutley Plain which has pubs, takeaways, cafes, shops, a pharmacy and a hairdressers. There are also social groups and churches locally.
Dartmoor National Trust and the countryside, beaches and seaside of Cornwall are within a thirty minute drive. There are also the local Devon beaches to be enjoyed.
Each person engages daily with a variety of activities, from developing domestic tasks to volunteering work in a local charity shop to clubs & activity centres including woodworking workshops. Each person's programme is individual to their interests, outcomes and goals. They are currently working together on the garden project being supported to grow their own vegetables.
We support individuals to engage more with the community and encourage development of peer networking with other local services as well as the wider community.

The individual would need to have a diagnosis of autism and aged 18+. The people living at Queens Road are encouraged to live a positive, meaningful and independent life.
The house is large so offers space to relax away from peers. Everything is accessible on the first floor except the garden, therefore if mobility is a challenge the person would have full access to everything within the house without needing to use the stairs.
Characteristics of the people we currently support range from gamers, those who have engaged with college courses, shared interests of the military, football and creative activities. Some also enjoy movies, box sets and music. The house tends to gather together socially but equally everyone likes their own space.
There is background shared support 24 hours a day 7 days a week this consists of a wake in member of staff available through the night and 1 member of staff available for background support through the day. Targeted 1:1 support is offered to each individual on top of the shared support.
