About Ruddington View

Ruddington View is a residential care home near Nottingham, and we support adults with learning disabilities and autistic people, including younger adults working towards a more independent life. Respite stays are available as well. We are a household rather than a facility, and that shapes how decisions get made here. What happens at teatime, what is on the television, who goes where at the weekend: these are matters for the people who live here rather than for a rota drawn up in an office. Our staff are part of that household, and we keep the team consistent, because being properly known by the people who support you affects every hour of the day. Support covers personal care, medication, meals, money and the practical business of running a home. Wherever we can, we do things alongside people rather than for them, and we are patient about it. A task done slowly by the person themselves is a better result than the same task done quickly by us. For autistic people we pay close attention to predictability and to the sensory side of things. Changes are explained before they happen, routines hold, and we take noise, light and busyness seriously rather than treating them as fussiness. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families, social workers and anyone considering Ruddington View for somebody they support are welcome to visit and ask us anything at all.
