About Us

The Wheelhouse in Wellington, part of Covenant Care, 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, younger adults and people living with eating disorders. 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.

Where we support somebody living with an eating disorder, we work without lecturing and alongside the clinicians involved.

We learn how each person communicates, including those who use little or no speech.

Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch to visit.
