Healthcare professionals

We’re happy to receive referrals from family members, care managers, community nurses, GPs, and other healthcare professionals. If a referral is made by a health professional, we kindly ask that the potential resident and their family have been consulted beforehand, so everyone feels informed and involved from the very beginning.

Who we support

At Martha Trust, we provide specialist, compassionate residential care for adults aged 18 and over with profound physical and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD). Our homes in Deal, Kent and Hastings, East Sussex offer a safe, nurturing environment where individuals with complex needs can thrive. Although we are based in the Southeast of England we welcome referrals no matter your geographic location.

We support people who are unable to walk unaided and who live with moderate to profound learning and physical disabilities. Many of our residents experience a combination of health complexities, including:

• Physical disabilities that affect mobility and everyday tasks
• Sensory and sensory processing impairments
• Complex health needs such as epilepsy, respiratory conditions, dysphagia, and difficulties
  with eating and drinking
• Coping behaviours linked to communication or other difficulties
• Mental health challenges

Our experienced team is dedicated to providing person-centred care that respects each individual’s dignity and promotes independence wherever possible.
