About HF Trust - Pound Lane
HF Trust at Pound Lane is a residential care home near Bishops Stortford supporting adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, including younger adults and some older residents. It is a house on an ordinary road and we aim to run it as a home, not a unit, with the people who live here having a genuine say in how things are done. Support is worked out individually. Some people need help through most of the day, including personal care; others need very little of that but rely on us for structure, encouragement and staff who understand how they communicate. We take our time at the start, listen to the people who know a person best, and adjust as we learn. Life here involves the ordinary business of a household: cooking and shopping, keeping your own room how you like it, deciding what to do at the weekend and getting out into the local area. We help where help is needed and stand back where it is not, which is often the harder discipline. Our staff are trained in communication and in supporting somebody who is distressed, and we keep the team settled so people are not always meeting new faces. Respite stays are available, giving family carers a break and the person a proper stay rather than a stopgap. Please contact us if you would like to look round.
