About Croft Cottage
Croft Cottage is a residential care home in Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire, supporting adults who are autistic or who have a learning disability, adults living with a physical disability, and younger adults. We also offer respite stays for people whose usual carer needs a break. We are a small home, and that shapes everything. Staff are not strangers rotating through, they are people who know that one person hates being rushed in the morning, that another wants the radio on before anything else happens, and that a change of plan needs warning rather than announcing at the door. Consistency of that kind prevents far more distress than any policy can. Support is built around independence. We help with personal care, medication, meals, money and appointments, but we look first at what someone can do, or could do with the right encouragement, and we protect that. Choice runs through the day, from what goes on the shopping list to how a weekend is spent. Families know their relative better than we do when someone first arrives, so we ask, we listen and we keep the relationship going. Visitors are welcome and concerns are taken seriously the first time they are raised. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you would like to look around our home in Gerrards Cross, please get in touch and we will arrange a time that suits you.
