About Reach Ivy Cottage
Reach Ivy Cottage is a residential care home near Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire. We support adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults, people living with mental ill health, people with physical disabilities and people living with sight or hearing loss, including older people and younger adults, and we offer both permanent places and respite stays. That is a broad range, and it works because we are specific about each person rather than general about everybody. For an adult with a learning disability or an autistic adult it may mean a predictable routine, clear information given in good time, and support to manage money, appointments and getting out to a job or a course. For somebody living with mental ill health, or whose life has been affected by alcohol or drug use, it may mean a settled and low pressure place to live and close work with the clinical teams involved. Where physical disability or sensory loss is part of the picture, equipment, access and how we communicate all get real attention. Every plan is written with the individual and reviewed properly, and where risk is part of the picture we discuss it openly rather than simply saying no. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families and professionals are welcome to visit.
