About Magnolia House
Magnolia House is a residential care home in Haywards Heath, West Sussex, and we support adults with learning disabilities, autistic people, people living with sight or hearing loss, and younger adults. Respite stays are available as well. We are a household rather than a facility. People here have their own rooms and their own belongings, and a real say over how the day goes. The staff team is kept consistent, because support from people who know you well is quite different from support from whoever happens to be on shift. Changes are explained in advance, the shape of the week holds, and we take sensory comfort seriously. For people living with sight or hearing loss, communication is where most of the difference lies. We take time to learn how each person communicates and we use their way rather than expecting them to use ours, and we pay attention to how a room is arranged and whether somebody is told who has walked in. Support covers personal care, medication, meals, money and the practical business of running a home, and wherever we can we do things alongside people rather than for them. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families, social workers and anybody considering Magnolia House for somebody they support are welcome to visit and ask us whatever they need to know.
