About Middleton

Our home in Middleton provides residential care for a wide range of adults. We support older people, adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, people living with mental ill health, people with a physical disability, people with visual or hearing impairment and younger adults. Respite stays are available too. Supporting such a mixed group means there is no single way of running the home, and we do not pretend otherwise. What we aim for is a place where people are taken as they come and where support is built around the individual. Some residents need a very structured day. Others need the opposite, plenty of freedom and somewhere stable to come back to. Where someone has a physical disability or reduced sight or hearing, we pay attention to the practical details. Equipment that suits the person, a layout that stays predictable, and staff who adapt how they communicate. We learn how each person communicates, including those who use little or no speech, and we treat noise, lighting and predictability as part of the support. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We are not going to talk around that. We know which areas were raised, work is in hand, and we would rather discuss it openly. Please visit and ask us directly what has changed.
