A new care home to help young adults with learning disabilities and autism move towards independent living has opened in Huddersfield.
Bridge House in Elmwood Close, Highfields, just outside Huddersfield town centre, offers a three-year residential programme for young people aged 18-25.
With only four bedrooms, Bridge House provides highly personalised care and tailored support, helping each young adult build the skills, confidence and independence they need to thrive in the future.
Bridge House is run by Sophie Robinson, of family-run Robinson Care. Sophie’s background in care stems from her childhood, where her family lived in and ran a care home for adults with learning disabilities.
Sophie said: “Bridge House is all about empowering young adults to take that important step towards independence and to reach their full potential in life.
“We want to give them the tools, support and encouragement to lead meaningful lives, while recognising that everyone’s journey is unique.”
Each young adult at Bridge House receives a tailored care and transitional plan based on their individual needs, abilities and goals.
The programme focuses on practical life skills such as cooking, budgeting and managing daily routines alongside social skills like building relationships and communicating effectively.
The focus is on empowering young adults to take control of their day-to-day lives at their own pace, with guidance from skilled and compassionate staff who are on hand 24/7, ensuring support is available whenever needed.
“Bridge House is more than just a care home, it’s a stepping stone to a brighter, more fulfilling and independent future,” said Sophie.
