About 24 St Marks Road
24 St Marks Road is a small care home in Derby. We provide residential care for adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, mostly younger adults, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. Being a small house means people are known in detail rather than in general, and the week can be arranged around a handful of individuals instead of a rota. That matters most when something is wrong, because staff who know somebody well can tell the difference between a bad mood and pain, and between wanting to be left alone and quietly withdrawing. The people living here have a genuine say in the ordinary decisions. What is bought and cooked, how their rooms look, where they go and who comes to visit. Where somebody wants to build a skill or take on something new, we put effort behind it rather than recording it as an aim and moving on. Communication gets the most attention. Where speech is not how a person tells us things, we learn the way they do, and we treat behaviour as information rather than as a problem. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families and social workers are welcome to visit and ask us anything.
