About Yew Tree House
Yew Tree House is a residential care home in Blakeney, Gloucestershire, set in the Forest of Dean. We support adults with a range of needs, including older people, people with a learning disability, autistic people, people managing a mental health condition, people with a physical disability and people with a visual or hearing impairment. Because the people who live here differ so much, we do not run one routine and expect everyone to fit it. We start with the individual, how they communicate, what settles them, what they find hard and what they want their week to hold, and we record that properly so the whole team works the same way. Support covers personal care, medication and health appointments, meals, moving about safely and help with the practical parts of running a life. Where somebody has a sensory impairment, details like how a room is set out and how a person is approached matter enormously, and we take them seriously. Being where we are, getting outside is part of ordinary life here rather than a special occasion. Respite stays are available, giving families a planned break in surroundings their relative can settle into. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are considering a placement in Gloucestershire, please come and visit.
