About Adams House

Adams House is a residential care home in Sutton In Ashfield, supporting adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults. Most of those living here are younger adults, and respite stays are part of what we do. We are a small household and that is the point of us. Everybody is properly known rather than known in outline, staff notice when somebody is off colour without needing it reported, and the house runs around the people in it instead of the reverse. People choose their own rooms, share properly in the shopping and the meals, and have a hand in how the place runs. Where somebody can do a thing themselves, our job is to make it possible rather than to do it faster on their behalf, even when the quicker route is tempting on a busy morning. What we are really supporting is a life with something in it: a job, a course, a club, somewhere regular to go. Those are the purpose rather than extras attached to it. Predictability matters a great deal here, so we plan ahead and explain changes early rather than rearranging for our own convenience. Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We keep asking the people who live here what they would change.
