About Cornfields
We are Cornfields, a residential care home in Basingstoke, Hampshire, supporting adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults. We offer permanent places and respite stays. A home for a small number of people allows support to be genuinely individual rather than a compromise between competing demands. Staff here know everybody properly, including a great deal that never appears in a care plan, such as which sounds are unbearable on a difficult day and which subject will always improve one. We treat autism as something that shapes how a person experiences the place they live rather than as a line at the top of a file. Predictability matters. The sensory environment matters. Saying what is going to happen and when, and then being right about it, does more than any amount of reassurance, and when those things go wrong nothing else we do compensates for it. People here make their own choices and do as much for themselves as they can, with help offered rather than assumed. Families and advocates are involved to whatever extent the person wants, and respite guests visit beforehand where possible so that arriving is familiar rather than a shock. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
