About Us

We run two homes on Church Lane in Rickmansworth, supporting adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults, people with physical disabilities and people living with sight or hearing loss. Those living with us include younger adults and older people, and we also offer respite stays.

Running two houses next to each other has a particular advantage. Each stays small enough that the people living in it are genuinely known rather than nominally known, while there is still company and activity next door for anybody who wants it. Being properly known is the thing a small home can offer that a large one struggles to.

People arrange their own rooms, have a real say in the food and the shopping, and are involved in how the household runs. Where somebody communicates differently, whether because of a sensory impairment or for any other reason, we sort that out properly at the start, because everything else rests on it.

We are careful about routine and about explaining change in good time, since for many of the people here that is what makes a day workable.

Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We keep asking the people who live here what they would change, and we would rather deal with a small complaint now than a serious one later.
