About Avalon Cypress Road

Avalon Cypress Road is a residential home in Normanton supporting adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, and people with a physical disability. We support both older and younger adults, and we offer respite stays. This is a house where a small number of people live, and the scale is much of why it works. Everybody here is known properly, as a person with their own habits, opinions and plans, rather than managed as a group working through a shared timetable. Support is shaped around each individual: what they want their day to contain, the help they need to make it happen, and the things they would far rather do for themselves. Communication gets close attention. A great deal of what goes wrong in support for people with a learning disability and for autistic people comes down to somebody not being understood, or not being allowed the time to make themselves understood. We learn how each person communicates and we work at their pace rather than ours. Where people want to get out, see family, go to work or college, or keep up something regular, our job is to make that possible rather than to explain why it is awkward. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Good. Families and professionals are welcome to visit and see how the house runs.
