About Housing 21 - Laurel Gardens

Here at Laurel Gardens in Atherstone, Warwickshire, we provide home care support that helps people live well in the comfort of their own homes. We are proud to hold a Good rating from the Care Quality Commission, which reflects the genuine effort our team puts in every single day to make a real difference to the people we support. We work with a wide range of individuals, including older adults, younger adults, and people living with dementia, learning disabilities, autism, mental health conditions, physical disabilities, and visual or hearing impairments. Because the people we support have such varied needs and backgrounds, we take time to understand what matters most to each individual. Care is never one size fits all, and we do not treat it that way. Our focus is on helping people maintain their independence and feel confident in their own surroundings. Whether that means support with daily routines, personal care, or simply having someone reliable to call on, we aim to be a consistent and familiar presence in people's lives. We know that inviting someone into your home takes trust, and we do not take that lightly. The team here in Atherstone genuinely cares about the people it works with. We take time to match the right support worker to each person, and we make sure our staff are properly trained and equipped to provide thoughtful, respectful care across all of our specialisms. If you are exploring care options for yourself or for someone close to you, we would always encourage you to get in touch and have a conversation with us. We are happy to talk through what we can offer and how we might be able to help. We are based locally and know this community well, which we think makes a real difference.

More about the care at Housing 21 - Laurel Gardens

Dementia Care at Housing 21 - Laurel Gardens

Good dementia support at home tends to rely on familiar faces arriving at predictable times, workers who understand how to communicate calmly when someone is confused or frightened, and a written plan that changes as the condition progresses. Laurel Gardens is registered to provide dementia care in people's own homes around Atherstone, which can help someone stay in surroundings they recognise for longer. Families should ask how the agency matches workers to people living with dementia, what training staff have in this area, and how they respond when someone becomes distressed, refuses care or tries to leave the house unsafely. It is also worth asking how the service works with district nurses, GPs and memory clinics, and how care hours can be increased when needs change. Indicative West Midlands rates run from about £26 to £31 an hour.

Home Care at Housing 21 - Laurel Gardens

Home care means regulated support delivered in someone's own house or flat rather than in a residential setting, covering anything from a short daily call to several visits a day. Laurel Gardens is registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care in Atherstone and the surrounding parts of Warwickshire. Private hourly rates across the West Midlands tend to sit between £26 and £31, while Warwickshire County Council commissions care at its own agreed rate for people who qualify for funded support. Families considering the agency should ask about minimum visit lengths, travel time between calls, how care plans are written and reviewed, and what cover looks like when a regular carer is off. It is also sensible to check how concerns are raised and how quickly they are acted on.

Consistency matters enormously for adults living with long term mental health conditions, whether that is help keeping to a medication routine, managing appointments or simply having a reliable visit to anchor the day. Laurel Gardens is registered to support people with mental health needs in their own homes. Ask what experience staff have in this area, how they recognise a decline, and who they contact if someone is in crisis outside office hours. Clear links with GPs and community mental health teams are worth checking.

Visual and Hearing Impairment at Housing 21 - Laurel Gardens

Sight and hearing loss change how someone manages at home, so small habits matter, such as announcing yourself on arrival, facing the person when speaking, keeping walkways clear and making sure hearing aids and glasses are within reach. Laurel Gardens is registered to support adults with visual or hearing impairment in Atherstone. Ask how workers are briefed on a person's preferred communication, and whether they will check batteries, lighting and clutter at each visit.

Younger Adults at Housing 21 - Laurel Gardens

Adults under 65 receiving care at home often want support that fits around work, study, family or social life rather than a routine designed around older people. Laurel Gardens is registered to support younger adults in the Atherstone area. Ask how visits can flex around evenings, weekends and personal plans, and how the service supports goals like getting to college, employment, hobbies or seeing friends, rather than only covering personal care tasks.

Learning Disability and Autism at Housing 21 - Laurel Gardens

Support for adults with a learning disability or autism at home works best when it follows the person's own pace, protects familiar routines and respects sensory preferences around noise, lighting and touch. Laurel Gardens is registered for this type of home care, which can include help with daily living skills, community access and health appointments. Warwickshire County Council usually commissions and reviews these packages, so ask how outcomes are recorded and how the annual review feeds back into the plan.

Physical Disability at Housing 21 - Laurel Gardens
