About Heys House
Heys House is a residential care home in Blackburn supporting adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, including younger adults working towards a more independent life. Ordinary life is what we are aiming at. People here are supported to cook, shop, keep their rooms exactly as they want them, get out to college, work or a club, and have a real say in how the week is arranged. For autistic residents we pay close attention to the things that make a home manageable: predictable routines, proper warning before anything changes, and a quiet place to go when the day has been too much. Support is offered at whatever level suits each person. We help where help is genuinely wanted and step back where it is not, and we are as interested in what somebody can manage independently as in what they need a hand with. Respite stays are available for people needing support for a short period, or for families who need a break. We do not currently hold an overall rating from the Care Quality Commission, so we would rather you came and formed your own view. Please get in touch if you would like to visit or to talk about whether we could be right for somebody.
