About Wadeville

Wadeville in Belvedere is a residential care home supporting older people and younger adults, including adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults, people with mental health needs and people with physical disabilities. Respite stays are part of what we do. Supporting that range means building round individuals rather than running everyone the same way. We spend time with a person, and whoever they want involved, learning how they like their days to go, what they manage themselves and where help is actually wanted. Help with personal care, mobility, medication and health appointments is recorded in detail so it happens consistently whoever is on shift. We should be open about where we stand. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us requires improvement overall. We did not dispute what was found. Since then we have strengthened staffing and supervision, tightened our systems for medicines and record keeping, and increased how closely senior staff check the care actually being given rather than the care described on paper. That work continues. We would far rather raise this ourselves and answer questions honestly than leave a family to find it out later. Anybody considering the home is welcome to visit, see how things are now, and ask us anything at all.
