About Us

Here at Wigginton Cottage, we offer residential care in the heart of Tamworth, Staffordshire, for people who deserve thoughtful, consistent support in a place that genuinely feels like home.

We work with adults who have learning disabilities and autism, as well as those who need support with eating disorders, and we also provide respite care for people and families who need a planned break or short term support. We understand that every person who comes through our door has their own story, their own preferences, and their own way of experiencing the world, and we take the time to get to know each individual properly before anything else.

Our team works hard to create an environment that is calm, structured, and warm. For people with learning disabilities or autism, routine and familiarity matter enormously, and we build our days around what works for each person rather than expecting them to fit around us. When someone comes to us for respite, we want that experience to feel reassuring and positive, not unsettling or temporary in a way that causes anxiety.

Supporting people with eating disorders within a residential care setting requires a careful and compassionate approach. We do not treat it as a secondary concern. It is central to how we plan care, how we structure mealtimes, and how we build trust with the people we support.

We are proud that our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection rated us as good, and we see that as a reflection of the consistency and genuine commitment our team brings every day.

If you would like to find out more about what we offer at Wigginton Cottage, or if you are considering whether we might be the right fit for yourself or someone you care about, please do get in touch. We are always happy to have that conversation.
