1 The Avenue

About Us

Our home at 1 The Avenue in Knaresborough provides residential care for adults with a learning disability and for autistic adults, including people with a physical disability, people with visual or hearing impairment and younger adults. We also offer respite stays.

This is a house and we want it to feel like one. The people who live here have their own rooms, their own belongings and their own way of running a day, and support is arranged around that rather than around a timetable that suits staff.

Support is planned around what each person wants to be able to do rather than simply around risk. Cooking, shopping, managing money, using transport, getting to activities, college or work, and keeping up with family and friends. Where somebody needs a lot of help, we still look for what they can take on themselves, because independence slips away quietly unless someone is protecting it.

Where a person has a physical disability we think properly about equipment and access, and about not helping more than is wanted. Where sight or hearing is reduced, we keep things where people expect to find them.

We learn how each person tells us what they want, including those who use little or no speech, and we pay attention to noise, lighting and predictability.

Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch to visit.
