About Us
Care with a heart
Jemini Response is a small local community-based service for residents with Autism and learning Disabilities.
We focus on choice, empowerment and dignity by improving life chances and creating opportunities.
We support and care for residents both emotionally and physically, in their home. We never forget that this is their home, we are just visitors, allowed to share their days.
And, we do get emotionally attached, because we care!
Our philosophy is… ‘you’re going to spend a lot of hours with this person and we’d rather you cared about them.’
Staff are trained in behaviour support, given a comprehensive understanding of Autism psychology and theory-based strategies.
Professional care… with a heart
“… we really encourage empowering choice and independence… we encourage the residents to do as much as they can with our support.”
Our background
Jemini Response was started in 2002 with a 3 bedded Home for Children with Learning Disabilities and Autism.
It then expanded a few years later with a 4 bedded Children’s home, then a six bedded Children’s home, where ‘HR’ was placed and still currently resides.
As the Children in each house became adults, the homes were re-registered so that the young people could stay, in effect a ‘home for life”.
The founder, James Edwards, has worked with this client group since doing Camp America in 1993, then progressing from Carer to Management at both Social Services and Privately run Children’s Homes.
We therefore still hold Care as the core and heart of our services.
CQC Rating

Staffing
At Jemini Response, all staff are trained in PBS and person-centred care.
This is a skilled profession and we maintain high standards to protect both the residents and the people who work here.
Our Mission
Our aim is to provide a safe, secure and enriching home for life, for adults with Autism and learning disabilities. To provide a caring environment which allows these adults to grow and increase their independence, enjoying their life to the maximum.
We make sure our residents are protected from all forms of abuse, financial, physical and emotional – it’s a responsibility we take very seriously.
