About 185 Watling St Road

185 Watling St Road is a small residential care home in Preston, Lancashire. We support adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults and people living with mental ill health, and we also offer respite stays arranged in advance. We are a house on an ordinary street and we like it that way. People have their own rooms and their own belongings, they help plan the meals and the shopping, and they take part in running the place as much as they want to. Support covers personal care where it is needed, medication, health appointments and money, and it covers helping somebody get out to the things that matter to them locally. Because we support people living with mental ill health alongside people with learning disabilities and autistic people, we pay close attention to what each individual needs from their environment. For one person that may mean quiet and a predictable routine; for another it may mean company and something to do. We ask, we watch, we record what works, and we take advice from the community teams who know people well. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are a family member or a professional considering a placement here, please arrange to come and visit, meet the residents and see how the house actually runs.
