About Paradise House

As its name suggests, there’s something a bit special about Paradise House.

It’s not just the idyllic countryside setting, magnificent grounds or the strong sense of community. More than anything, it’s the people who live here that make Paradise House the place that it is.

Our residents know that life is for living; for making the most of everything it has to offer. That’s what Paradise House is all about.  It’s about living life to the full.

More than just a home

Paradise House is more than just a home in a beautiful location – it’s a community of like-minded individuals.

We encourage all our residents to be as independent as possible and support them to make the choices that are right for them. They play an active role in the running of the home and are fully involved in all the key decisions affecting their lives.

Everything at Paradise House – from our accommodation and varied programme of activities to the support provided by our team of specialist therapists and care staff – is carefully designed to help our residents develop their confidence, self-esteem and independence.

“[Residents] were truly respected and valued as individuals; and empowered as partners in their care in an exceptional service

Part of Novalis Trust

Following a merger of the two organisations in 2010, Paradise House is part of Novalis Trust, a Gloucestershire-based charity dedicated to the provision trauma-informed, attachment-focused and relationship-based care, therapy and education for children and adults.

The other organisations within Novalis Trust are Cotswold Chine School (a special school for children with complex learning needs) and William Morris School (a independent day and boarding school school for children with complex learning needs).

As well as sharing the same ethos and values, all three organisations share management, administration, maintenance, training and other resources in order to ensure that consistently high standards are maintained across the charity.
