About Bos Y'n Dre
Bos Y'n Dre is a residential care home in St Austell, Cornwall, supporting adults with a learning disability and autistic adults. We provide accommodation and personal care, and we also offer respite stays for people who need somewhere for a short period or whose family carer needs a planned break. Living well here depends on us understanding each person properly. We take time to learn how someone communicates, what a good day looks like for them, what they want to do themselves, where they want support and what they need warning about before it happens. Support plans are written with the person, in a form they can actually use, and we keep the shape of the week predictable, because uncertainty is usually what causes distress rather than the events themselves. We support people to keep their own connections going, whether that is family, friends, work, college or things they enjoy locally. A care home should not become the whole of somebody's world, and we would rather help someone get out than find reasons why it is difficult. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families, advocates and social workers are welcome to visit and to raise anything with us at any point. If you would like to look around or talk through a possible placement, please get in touch and we will arrange it.
