About Bramley Avenue
Bramley Avenue is a residential care home in Royston, Cambridgeshire, supporting adults with physical disabilities and adults with a visual or hearing impairment, including younger adults. Physical disability is often treated as a problem of equipment, and equipment matters, but the more important question is what somebody actually wants their life to contain and what stands between them and it. Sometimes that is a hoist or a wheelchair. Just as often it is transport, timing, or staff who are willing to plan an outing properly rather than decide it is too complicated. We support people with personal care, mobility, medication and the practical parts of the day, and we adapt how we communicate to suit each individual, particularly where sight or hearing is affected. The people who live here are adults with their own opinions about how things should be done, and our job is to make those opinions count rather than work around them. Respite stays are available for short periods of support or to give a family carer a planned break. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good, and visitors are welcome at any reasonable time.
