Residential homes reimagined

At Progress we provide residential services for children and young adults from age 5 upwards, who are affected by all types of disability. Whatever the reason or length of their stay, our goal is to make sure everybody has a positive experience and leaves with their life improved in some way.

We start with a dedicated plan designed to develop life skills and help them become the best they can be. This could mean teaching self-management to help them to return to the family home, working intensely to reduce the barriers to living in a foster home, or preparing them for independent living.

We also believe in the importance of the simple things, like providing home-cooked foods, promoting a healthy lifestyle and encouraging participation in daily life. The purpose of our residential homes is to make young people feel safe, comfortable and valued. Just as they would in any normal family home.

We’ve developed this specialism over many years and are extremely proud of our high staff retention rates and ability to deliver stable and consistent care and support to the young people who need us.

Check out our locations

All of our locations are individually tailored to suit the requirements of individuals with a range of specific complex needs. To find a location that would be perfect for you or your loved one, begin by filtering our residencies by selecting a relevant age category.

General Enquiries

Fill in this quick enquiry form and one of our friendly team will call you back to make the necessary arrangements.

``I joined Progress in March 2015. Before I joined, I lacked confidence and struggled to come out of my comfort zone, travel on my own, or work independently with children. With the support and encouragement of my line managers, I was given the appropriate training. In time, my confidence has grown as have my communicational skills.``

Nadia Karim - Progress Staff Member

``Our aim within Progress is to give new dreams that be achieved through, love, care consistency and planning, they may seem unimportant to some but not to us. A young person who is able to dress themselves, complete a new task or say a new word is music to our ears. These are the dreams that Progress offers using our four core values, Trust, Care, Respect and Progress.``

Senior Residential Support Worker - Children's Residential Home

``My reception, and the hospitality and assistance I have received have always been excellent. It is always a pleasure to work with the staff.``

Representative - Training to Care

Staff make a positive impact on young people’s lives. In the words of one parent:
``There’s been such an improvement from where we were last year. He now attends school, his behaviour is much calmer and staff have given me advice on how to manage him at home. I’ve got a whole new outlook.``

Extract from OFSTED Report February 2017

``From my experience the homes feel truly ‘homely’ and the standard of care I have seen provided has been excellent. A good team does not exist unaided. They have always appeared to be confident and well supported by yourself. I have seen examples of your dedication and commitment to the young people and the staff``.
