About Goldcrest House
Goldcrest House is a residential care home in Goole, East Riding of Yorkshire, supporting adults with a learning disability, autistic adults and people with a visual or hearing impairment. Supporting somebody with sensory impairment alongside a learning disability calls for a particular kind of patience. Information has to reach the person in a form that works for them, whether that is speech, touch, objects, signs or simply enough time and quiet to take something in. Get that wrong and a person is cut off inside a room full of people. Get it right and they can make their own decisions about their own day, which is the point of the whole thing. So communication comes first here. Staff learn how each person makes themselves understood and how they prefer to be approached. Routines are predictable, changes are flagged in advance, and the house is arranged so that somebody who cannot rely on sight or hearing can still find their way around it. Beyond that it is a home. People choose what they eat, how their room looks, what they do with a free afternoon and who comes to see them, and getting out into Goole and the area around it is part of the ordinary week. Respite stays are available. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please contact us to arrange a visit.
