About Creative Support - 2, 3 and 4 Nightingale Close
We are Creative Support at Nightingale Close in Witham, a residential care setting supporting a broad mix of people. We care for older people, including those living with dementia, and we also support adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, people living with a physical disability and people with sight or hearing loss, including younger adults. That range works because our approach does not change from one person to another. We take time to learn how somebody communicates, what a good day looks like for them and what tends to make a difficult one, and then we build their support around that rather than fitting everybody into the same routine. Where a person can take on more for themselves, we make room for it rather than stepping in out of habit. These are homes where people live, not units where care is delivered, and the difference shows in how the day runs. People get up when they are ready and spend their time on what genuinely interests them. Respite stays are available too. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good, though the measure we trust more is whether people here look at ease.
