About the people and their home  

Wilbury Gardens is a specialist residential care home in Hove, East Sussex, that provides 24-hour support to eight deaf and/or deafblind people who use British Sign Language as their primary language.  In addition, the people we support have a range of diverse needs, including learning and physical disabilities, mental health, autism and dementia.  

The dedicated team at Wilbury Gardens promotes a culture of person-centred active care with support tailored to each person’s own needs, choices, beliefs and personality.  

People at Wilbury Gardens are supported in accessing a wide range of therapies, social events and activities and have a dedicated Linkworker who assists with all aspects of a person’s care and support from accessing health appointments, emotional wellbeing, social inclusion to goal setting for the future.   

Wilbury Gardens provides a varied and diverse activity programme in the home for individuals to join in as well as social events and groups in the community.   

Wilbury Gardens is a bespoke deaf home, and communication is an integral part of the care we provide, be it British Sign Language, Sign Supported English, Makaton, or lip reading, communication is a barrier the people we support face daily, and becoming an advocate and committing to learning BSL, will go towards breaking down those barriers in society. Therefore, all team members require a British Sign Language Level 1 Qualification as a minimum. We provide this qualification fully funded with additional Deaf Awareness training provided during your induction.
