About Apperley House
Apperley House is a residential home in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, for adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults and people with physical disabilities, including younger adults. We offer planned respite stays alongside longer placements. This is somebody's home before it is anything else. The people who live here choose how their rooms look, have a real say in meals and in the shape of the week, and are supported to keep up the relationships and interests that matter to them. The ordinary business of having preferences and making choices should not quietly disappear because somebody lives in a supported setting. Support is planned around each person. For some that means a full and busy week out in the local area, with work, college, clubs and family time. For others it means a quieter and highly predictable rhythm, which is an equally good way to live. With autistic people in particular we pay close attention to routine, to warning of change and to the sensory side of the environment. Where somebody has a physical disability we make sure equipment is properly set up and that staff use it confidently, and we follow the person's own preferences about how they are helped to move. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are considering Apperley House for someone, please get in touch and come and look round properly.
