About 14 Lightwood

Lightwood is a small residential care home in Salford supporting younger adults, including people who have a learning disability and people who are autistic. Because the house is small, life here is domestic in scale. People have their own rooms arranged as they want them, meals are planned with the people who eat them and the day runs at a household pace rather than an institutional one. Support is agreed with each person, and ranges from help with personal care and medication to practical assistance with cooking, budgeting and appointments, to simply having reliable people nearby while somebody gets on with college, work or seeing friends. For the autistic people we support, predictability does much of the work. We plan ahead, explain changes before they happen and pay attention to noise, light and how busy the shared areas are. Where somebody becomes distressed, our first question is what caused it rather than how to manage it. Respite stays are available as well as permanent places, which can give families a planned break and let a person try the house first. Manchester and Salford have plenty within reach and we encourage people to make use of it. Please contact us if you would like to arrange a visit.
