About HF Trust - Oaktree House

Oaktree House in Tiverton, run by HF Trust, is a residential home supporting adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults, alongside older people. We also offer respite stays. Because people tend to live here for years, we run the house as their household rather than as a setting they have been placed in. The people who live here decide how their rooms look, have a real say in what is bought and cooked, and shape the week around what they want to do. We would far rather spend twenty minutes helping somebody do a thing themselves than two minutes doing it for them, and that choice, made over and over, is most of what this home is. Support with personal care, medication, health appointments, money and getting about is given exactly as each person has agreed, and recorded in enough detail that a colleague new to a shift can get a morning right without being told. For anybody who finds change difficult, that consistency is the ground everything else stands on. Communication is where the real work lies. Not everybody here uses speech, and understanding how a person shows a preference, a worry or a refusal is what makes choice genuine rather than nominal. We learn each person's way, record it, and check our understanding instead of assuming it. We encourage life beyond the front door. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall.
