About Arnold

Arnold is a care home near Nottingham. We provide residential care for adults with a learning disability, autistic adults and people managing a mental health condition, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We would rather set that out at the start than let a family find it later. The inspection identified things that were not good enough for the people living here, and we have accepted that. Anyone considering us should ask precisely what was found and precisely what has changed since, and should not settle for a general answer. What we are working towards has not changed. The people here are adults with their own preferences, and support should be planned with each of them individually: how the week should run, what they want to do for themselves, how they communicate and what makes a place feel safe rather than unsettling. Routines are kept steady and changes are explained well in advance. Please visit before deciding anything. Meet the people living here, read the inspection report in full and judge us on what you find.
