About Fiorano

Fiorano is a residential care home in Thaxted, Essex, supporting adults who need help with everyday living in a house rather than an institutional setting. Much of our work is with adults who have a learning disability or who are autistic, and with younger adults. Because the house is small, staff get to know everybody here properly, which matters a great deal. It means noticing when somebody is quieter than usual, knowing which sounds and situations are unsettling, and understanding how each person prefers to be approached. We begin with the person rather than with a list of needs. We find out how somebody communicates, what a good day looks like for them, what they would rather do for themselves and what they would like to work towards. Support plans are written with the person, and with family or an advocate where that is wanted, and we revisit them as things change. Where someone can do something themselves, or could learn to, our job is to make that possible rather than to take over. We also offer respite stays, giving family carers a planned break while their relative stays somewhere welcoming and well staffed. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are looking at options for yourself or someone you care about, please get in touch and come and see the house for yourself.
