About Cypress Lodge
Cypress Lodge is a residential care home in the Bristol area supporting adults, including younger adults, who have a learning disability or autism or who live with mental ill health. We offer respite stays alongside permanent places. We want to be straight about where we stand. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We know what the inspectors found, we have an improvement plan and we are working through it with the people who live here, their families and their social workers, reporting on progress as we go. If you are considering a place, please ask us precisely what was wrong, what has changed and how we are checking that it holds. What we are working to protect meanwhile is the character of the house. This is somebody's home, not a unit. People have their own rooms and their own belongings, they have a real say in how the week is spent, and they are supported to do as much for themselves as they want to, whether that is cooking, shopping, managing money or getting out and about. Our staff take time to learn how each person communicates, and when somebody is finding life hard we look for the cause rather than the label and plan ahead with them about what helps. Please come and see the house, meet the team and ask us the hard questions. We would rather have that conversation than not.
