About Hannacott

We are Hannacott, a residential care home in Gloucester in Gloucestershire. We support adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults, people with physical disabilities and younger adults who need a settled home with the right help around them. We also offer respite stays, which give families a planned break and give the person staying with us a change of scene. This is somebody's home, so it should feel like one. People here have their own rooms arranged the way they want them, choose what they do with their day, and have a genuine say in how the house runs, from what is on the shopping list to where we go at the weekend. We ask rather than assume, and we are prepared to be told no. Much of our work is about building skills rather than doing things for people. Cooking a meal, handling money, using the bus, making an appointment. Progress can be slow and it can go backwards, and our job is to keep offering the opportunity without pressure and to make a real occasion of it when something clicks. Understanding how each person communicates is essential, particularly where words are not the main way somebody expresses themselves. We learn what different behaviour is telling us, we record it so everyone responds consistently, and we adapt. The Care Quality Commission rated us good at our most recent inspection, and we continue to look for what we could do better.
