About Mill Lane
Mill Lane in Macclesfield is a residential care home supporting older people and younger adults, including adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults and people with physical disabilities. Respite stays are available. This is a house run with the people who live in it rather than around them. Residents choose how their rooms look, what they eat, how they spend their time and what part they play in the household. Cooking, shopping and laundry are things people do with support where they can, because independence grows out of doing things rather than being told about them. We plan support around what each person wants from their life rather than around a timetable that suits the rota. That might be help with cooking and managing money, support to keep a college place or a job, assistance to travel independently, or somebody alongside on a difficult day. For autistic people we pay close attention to sensory needs and give notice of change well in advance. The building is arranged so that people with reduced mobility can get about safely and independently, and our staff are trained in moving and handling and in the equipment people rely on. Communication takes different forms here and we learn each person's, whether speech, signing, pictures or objects. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch if you would like to visit.
