Seabreeze Day Service

Seabreeze is for adults aged 18 and over with autism, learning disabilities, epilepsy, complex health needs and special educational needs. Before joining us our manager meets you and your loved ones or carers to assess your needs, wants and wishes, and puts together a bespoke package — whether that is 2:1, 1:1 or less ratio support.

During assessment we discuss what is important to you and what you would like to achieve, so we can support your aspirations and dreams, working with other professionals to seek the best possible outcome for you.

We are open 9am to 4pm, Monday to Friday, and people can attend for full days or part days. Every day includes time out in the community — the beach, shops, library, bowling, swimming and trips further afield — alongside activities in the house such as cooking, crafts, games and life skills sessions.

Tea, coffee and squash are available throughout the day. People normally bring lunch, but lunch can be provided where arranged. We also have transport available for those who require it.

The house is completely wheelchair accessible with a large lift and widened doorways, and has a room for every interest.

The lounge

The social hub of the house where we socialise, relax, play games and work on our life and social skills. Light and airy, with a dimmer switch so the main lights can be adjusted.

Kitchen

Equipped with all utensils and cookery items to make cakes and meals, with education about food hygiene, temperatures, cleaning and nutrition.

Sensory room

An inside garden sensory room combining colours, lights, sounds, soft play objects and aromas in a bright, interactive and tranquil space.

Games room

A pool table, dart board, board games, cards, jigsaws, puzzle books, lego and building blocks — stimulating the brain while engaging positively with other people.

Craft room

Sewing, croquet, colouring and painting, plus cards for birthdays and festivities. Arts and crafts boost self-esteem, morale and confidence.

Life skills rooms

A computer and a relaxed environment to learn basic maths and English, money management, communication and daily living skills, plus a bedroom set up for house management.

Tuck shop

A non-profit tuck shop where individuals use real money and budgeting methods to buy treats — and can work in it serving customers.

Laundry room

Clients wash, dry and iron in a safe environment with support from staff, and learn COSHH safety and handling alongside using the equipment.

You don't necessarily need to be referred through the local authority. We welcome people accessing the service in three ways:

Direct Payments

If you receive Direct Payments, you can choose to use them for a place at Seabreeze.

Private / self-funded

Families can arrange and pay for a place with us directly, without going through the local authority.

Local authority funded

We are accredited and work with Norfolk and Suffolk County Councils, supporting people through Local Authority placements and referrals.
