About Kinsey Road

Kinsey Road is a residential care home in Smethwick supporting adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults and people living with mental ill health, including younger adults. We also offer respite stays. Supporting that mix of people properly means being specific rather than general. For an adult with a learning disability or an autistic adult it may mean a predictable routine, clear information given in good time, help with money and appointments, and support to get out to a job, a course or a club. For somebody living with mental ill health it may mean a settled, low pressure place to live, support to keep a routine that holds, and close work with the community mental health team so that what happens here fits with the rest of their care. Every plan is written with the individual and reviewed properly. We pay close attention to how each person communicates and to what makes a day feel manageable, and where somebody becomes distressed we look at why rather than simply managing the behaviour. This is a diverse area, so we ask about language, faith and food rather than assuming. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families and professionals are welcome to visit.
