Our Story
Welcome to Cocklebury Farmhouse Homes, three small, independent care homes that have been at the heart of providing high-quality care for adults with learning difficulties for nearly 40 years.
As a family-run business, we’re deeply passionate about making a positive difference in the lives of the individuals we support, and we take immense pride in the community we’ve built over the years.
Our Story
Founded almost four decades ago, Cocklebury Farmhouse Homes was created with a simple yet powerful vision: to provide a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment for adults with learning difficulties and/or autism to live with dignity, independence, and respect.
We wanted to create a home for those who have found it difficult to integrate into the community or settle into happy, longterm placements. Everyone deserves the right to live in a home that is settled, happy and safe. We are immensely proud of our aim to turn previous placement breakdowns into a long-term home for those with complex behaviours. What started as a family’s commitment to help those with unique needs has grown into a place where individuals are empowered to lead lives filled with purpose, joy, and fulfillment.
Over the years, we’ve remained a family-owned and operated care home, which allows us to maintain a personal touch in every aspect of our care. Our team is exceptional, and our Registered Manager has been with us since 1999, creating stability and deep rooted relationships that transforms us from a provider to a home. The values of compassion, respect, and advocacy that were instilled in us when we first opened our doors continue to guide everything we do today.
Our Commitment to Empowerment
At Cocklebury Farmhouse Homes, we believe that every person deserves to live a life that’s full of choice, opportunity, and potential. We are passionate about fighting for the rights of those who live with us, ensuring they have access to the same opportunities and experiences as anyone else. We focus on helping each resident develop their skills, make decisions, and engage in activities that are meaningful to them.
We empower individuals to become as independent as possible while providing the support they need to feel safe, comfortable, and confident in their daily lives. We are one of the few providers that empowered our residents to vote in the most recent general election. Inclusivity is at the core of our mission.
Our care philosophy centers on building independence, promoting inclusion, and creating a sense of community. We see every individual as unique, with their own aspirations and strengths. We are dedicated to fostering an environment where everyone is treated with dignity and respect, and where they can thrive.
