About Us

Allendale Residential is a care home in Newcastle under Lyme. We provide care for older people and also support adults with a learning disability, autistic adults and younger adults. Respite stays are available too.

Having residents of different ages and needs living together works better than people often expect, provided it is thought about rather than left to chance. Older residents frequently enjoy the company and a bit of life about the place, and younger residents benefit from a settled household rather than an institutional one. What makes it work is not assuming everybody wants the same things. Meals, routines, outings and how much say somebody wants over their own decisions get worked out person by person.

For residents with a learning disability or who are autistic, we treat the environment itself as part of the support. Noise, lighting, how predictable the day is, and whether there is somewhere quiet to go when everything becomes too much. We also learn how each person communicates, including those who use little or no speech.

Respite stays are available for planned breaks and at shorter notice, and short stay residents are part of the household rather than guests.

Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and visit Allendale.
