About Aurora Orchard Manor Transition Service
Orchard Manor, part of Aurora, is a residential care home in Royston, Cambridgeshire, supporting adults with a learning disability or autism, adults with physical disabilities and people with a visual or hearing impairment. Much of our work is about helping people move towards greater independence, so support here is planned to change as somebody grows into it. Support is individual. It can include help with personal care, medication, cooking, laundry, managing money and getting to appointments, and it takes in the parts of life that matter just as much: friendships, going out, keeping up an interest, having plans of your own. We communicate in whatever way suits each person, adapting for sight and hearing where that is needed, and we help people move about safely without taking over from them. We give people the time to do things their own way rather than stepping in for the sake of speed. Respite stays are available too, giving family carers a real break and letting somebody get used to the place first. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. We are pleased about that, and clear that it describes what was found at one point and has to be lived up to daily. Please visit and see for yourself.
