About Us

We provide nursing care at Ullenwood near Cheltenham for younger adults with physical disabilities, adults with learning disabilities, autistic people and people with loss of sight or hearing.

The people we support are mostly at the stage of life where education, friendships and finding out what they can do matter most, and our care is arranged with that firmly in mind. Registered nurses on duty mean medication, pain, seizures, continence and the difficulties people have with eating, drinking and moving are managed properly and without waiting. Around that, our job is to make sure none of it stands in the way of somebody learning, trying things and having a life of their own.

So we pay close attention to how each person communicates, what they want to achieve and what gets in the way. Support is offered in the way that leaves most in the hands of the young person themselves, and we work alongside therapists and teaching colleagues rather than separately from them. Short stays are available as well as longer arrangements.

At our most recent inspection the Care Quality Commission rated us outstanding overall. We are pleased with that and conscious that a rating describes a moment rather than a guarantee.

If you would like to know more, please get in touch and come and see us.
