About Rockley Core Unit
Rockley is a residential care home near Mansfield, and we support older people who need help with daily living, adults with learning disabilities, autistic people, adults living with mental ill health, people with physical disabilities, people living with sight or hearing loss, and younger adults. Respite stays are available as well. A household this varied only works if people are treated as individuals rather than as categories. Support is agreed with the person, written in terms they recognise, and reviewed as things change. Some residents need a great deal of hands on help with washing, dressing, medication and mobility. Others mainly want a settled home and support that is available when they ask for it. For autistic people, predictability is a need rather than a preference, so changes are explained in advance, staffing is kept consistent where we can, and noise, light and busyness are taken seriously. For residents with physical disabilities or sight and hearing loss, the emphasis is on equipment that fits, safe transfers and unhurried communication. Wherever we can, we do things alongside people rather than for them, because a skill used is a skill kept, and we are patient about that even when it takes longer. We have not yet had an overall rating published by the Care Quality Commission, which we say plainly. Families and professionals are welcome to visit and question us closely.
