About Us

Royal College Manchester, in Cheadle, provides residential care alongside education and therapy for young adults with complex needs. We support autistic people and people with learning disabilities, including those with physical disabilities and people living with sight or hearing loss, and we also offer respite stays. Supporting people with this level of complexity means being specific about each individual rather than general about everybody. We spend a great deal of effort on communication, because most of the people we support communicate in ways other than speech, whether through signs, symbols, objects, a device or their behaviour. Understanding that properly is the foundation of everything else, so we learn it, write it down, and work closely with speech and language therapists, occupational therapists and physiotherapists rather than treating care and therapy as separate things. Where physical disability is part of the picture, equipment, seating, positioning and access all get close attention, because those details decide what somebody can actually do. Where somebody becomes distressed, we look at why rather than simply managing the behaviour. People here have their own rooms and their own things, and they have real say over how their time is spent. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families and professionals are welcome to visit.
