About Oak Trees (Respite)

Oak Trees in Attleborough, Norfolk, provides respite and short stays for adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, alongside older people. Respite is often talked about as a break for families, and it is that. But it should also be a break for the person coming to stay, and something they look forward to rather than endure. We try to make it a stay somewhere they know and like, with people they recognise, doing things they have chosen. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. What lies behind that is fairly ordinary: staff who stay long enough to know the people who come back to us, enough time to do things properly, and a willingness to say plainly when something needs putting right. Because stays are short, getting the start right matters enormously. We find out beforehand how somebody communicates, what settles them, what they eat, how they like their day to run and what they would rather avoid. For autistic guests in particular, knowing exactly what is going to happen and when takes most of the difficulty out of a stay away from home. People choose how they spend their time here, and getting out into Attleborough and the area around it is part of it. Please get in touch if you would like to visit and see the place.
