Supported living and residential care providers
We have become a destination of choice for many supported living and residential care organisations including regional branches of The NAS, Autism Care, Lifeways, Mencap, McIntyre Trust, Sense, Options, Priory, Home from Home Care and The Hesley Group to name just a few. All our facilities are suitable for all ages, with excellent wheelchair access which makes us an ideal holiday choice.
Holidays form part of the “normal life” expectations of those in supported living or residential care, but finding suitable holiday venues can be difficult. We believe that holidays are not necessarily about distance from home, but rather about quality of the experience. We offer outstanding holiday facilities for care staff and the people you care for.
“We have had such a wonderful time here and we have done things with T that we never would have expected him to do. We will take these new learnings back to his home unit and use this as the new platform from which to develop his skills still further.”
The Hesley Group
If you can access main stream venues such as holidays abroad or larger locations such as Centre Parcs or Butlins, then you probably do not need us.
Equally if you need high security rooms and padded spaces, then we are probably not able to meet your needs.
If you are somewhere in the middle, then we are the place for you.
The Thomas Centre provides a destination for those who cannot access the mainstream locations but can still come and have a wonderful holiday with their care staff.
We have many years experience in working with organisations to ensure that we can realistically meet the expectations of you and your team.
We will always be clear and honest with you about the suitability of our venue.
To ensure that your holiday is a success, we always wish to discuss your particular requirements prior to booking.
To discuss a booking please give us a call. Alternatively, you can make a booking request via our availability calendar. When we receive this, we will give you a call, so that we can be sure to match the needs of the people you care for with an discuss any specific concerns that you may have.
“This place is fantastic, staff so kind, for my first holiday ever! I am not ready to go home, nor are my support staff, at least 20 out of 10!”

We also believe that holiday destinations should be of benefit to the whole group; that is to say also for the benefit of the care staff, the support team and the people you care for.
This may sound a little strange that “the support staff should have an enjoyable time” but we have seen how beneficial this can be for the people you care for.
If care staff feel re-charged and invigorated after a good holiday together, this naturally reflects back in one form or another to the people they care for.
“This has been A’s first ever holiday and he has loved every moment. We did not think holidays for him would be possible. He has had a ball and done nothing but smile, laugh and sing!”
