About Ocknell Park

Ocknell Park is a residential care home in Lyndhurst, in the New Forest. We support adults with a learning disability, autistic adults and people living with mental health conditions. The people who live here are largely younger adults. A home for younger adults has to be about building a life rather than winding one down. People living here have decades ahead of them, and support should open things up rather than close them down. So we talk about work and college, money and independence, cooking and travel, friendships and interests, and we expect people to take on more as time goes on. How we support somebody matters as much as what we do. For autistic residents in particular, predictable routine, clear information, honest notice of change and attention to sensory demands prevent far more distress than any response after the event. Where somebody is struggling, we look first at what is being asked of them. The New Forest is on the doorstep, and getting out into it is part of an ordinary week here, not a special occasion. We take respite bookings as well as permanent placements, and a short stay can be a sensible way for someone to see whether we suit them. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch if you would like to visit Ocknell Park.
