About The Old Rectory

We are The Old Rectory, a residential care home in Trowbridge. We support older people and younger adults, including adults with a learning disability and autistic adults. With that range of people living together, a single routine would suit nobody, so we do not run one. People get up when they are ready, eat what appeals to them and spend their days as they choose. What stays constant is that staff are about, and that they know the people here well enough to notice when somebody is struggling with something they would not put into words. Support plans are written with the person and with anyone they want involved, and they are reviewed when circumstances change rather than only at set intervals. Where somebody wants to take on more for themselves, whether that is cooking, managing appointments or getting out independently, we build it up at their pace rather than deciding beforehand what is realistic. Communication matters a great deal here. We take time to learn how each person tells us what they want, in whatever form that takes, and we make sure new staff learn it too before they work alone. We work closely with families, social workers, GPs and community teams, and we offer respite stays as well as permanent places. Please contact us if you would like to come and meet the people who live here.
