About Bentinck Crescent

Bentinck Crescent is a residential care home in Morpeth, Northumberland. We support adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, people with physical disabilities, those with sight or hearing loss, people managing an eating disorder, younger adults and older people. We also offer respite stays. Supporting that range under one roof only works if care is planned for the individual rather than the group. We spend real time getting to know somebody, write plans that describe the person rather than the category, and review them honestly as things change. What steadies one person here would unsettle another, and we would rather find that out by asking than by guessing. People choose how their rooms look, take part in shopping, cooking and keeping the house going as much as they want to and are able to, and get out to what they enjoy in Morpeth and across Northumberland. Where somebody wants a job, a course or a regular club, that belongs in the plan rather than at its edges. The work turns on detail. How much noise a room holds, whether a change has been flagged days in advance, which way of communicating genuinely reaches a person, and how much warning is needed before anything moves. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. Visitors and referrers are welcome to come and see the house.
