About Us

We at 22 Woodlands Road offer a welcoming residential care home in Reading, providing specialised support for adults living with learning disabilities and autism in a comfortable, homely setting.

Nestled within the RG postcode area, our home is thoughtfully situated to combine the calm of a residential neighbourhood with convenient access to the wider Reading community. The environment has been designed to feel like a genuine home rather than an institution, offering residents familiar surroundings where they can feel safe, settled and truly at ease. Local amenities, green spaces and community life are all within reach, helping residents remain connected to the world around them.

Our care is centred on adults with learning disabilities and autism, including younger adults who benefit from tailored, person centred support. We understand that every individual we welcome has their own story, preferences, routines and aspirations, and our approach is built around honouring that individuality. In practice, this means supporting residents to develop life skills, pursue interests, maintain meaningful relationships and enjoy daily activities that bring them purpose and pleasure. For families, it means the reassurance of knowing your loved one is understood as a whole person, not defined by a diagnosis.

We also provide respite care, offering short term stays that can be a lifeline for families and regular carers who need a break, or for individuals who would benefit from a change of scene within a supportive environment. Whether the stay is planned in advance or arranged to meet a more immediate need, we work to make the transition as smooth and reassuring as possible.

Our most recent CQC inspection, carried out in November 2023, resulted in an overall rating of Requires Improvement. We are proud that inspectors recognised our team as Good in both the Caring and Responsive domains, reflecting the warmth, compassion and attentiveness our residents experience day to day. We fully acknowledge the areas identified for improvement across the Safe, Effective and Well led domains, and we are committed to acting on that feedback openly and constructively. For families, transparency matters, and we believe it is important to be honest about where we are on our journey and the steps we are taking to strengthen the quality of care we provide.

Choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a family can make, and we understand the mix of emotions that comes with it. If you are exploring options for a loved one with a learning disability or autism, or considering respite care in the Reading area, we warmly invite you to get in touch. We would be delighted to answer your questions, share more about our approach and help you determine whether 22 Woodlands Road might be the right home for the person you care about.
