About Avalon Clarence Gardens

Avalon Clarence Gardens is a residential care home in Wakefield. We support adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, people with a physical disability, younger adults and older people, and we also offer respite stays. With that range of people under one roof, the only way to work is to build support around each individual rather than around a house routine. We spend time understanding how a person communicates, what they can do independently, where they want help and what tends to make a day difficult, and we set out support plans with the person in language that means something to them. For autistic residents, predictable routines and attention to sensory needs usually matter more than anything else we do. For someone with a physical disability, the care is in the detail of how help is given, not only that it is given. Our respite stays are planned in advance with visits beforehand so that arriving somewhere new is not a shock. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement, and we would rather set that out here than leave someone to find it elsewhere. We have an agreed plan covering the areas identified, we are working through it, and anyone considering the home should ask us exactly what has changed and what has not.
