About West House - 3&4 Glebe Lane

Glebe Lane is a small residential care home in Workington supporting adults with a learning disability and autistic adults. We also offer respite stays. Being small has real advantages. Staff know everybody properly rather than in passing, which means a change in somebody is noticed quickly and a preference does not have to be explained twice. It also means the place feels like a house where people live rather than a building people have been placed in. The everyday decisions belong to the people who live here. What goes on the shopping list. How a bedroom looks. Whether Saturday means going out or staying in. Whether a visitor is welcome today. Support is planned individually and changes as people do. Some want to build skills and take on more for themselves, and our job is to step back at the right pace and stay near enough to help if something does not go to plan. Others want a settled and predictable life with reliable support around it. For autistic people, the environment is part of the care. Noise, lighting, changes of staff and short notice can shape an entire week. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Visitors are welcome.
