About Godfrey Olsen House
Godfrey Olsen House is a residential care home in Eastleigh, Hampshire, supporting adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, people with physical disabilities, those with sight or hearing loss, younger adults and older people. We also offer respite stays. This is a house where people live their own lives rather than a setting where things are done to them. People choose how their rooms look, take part in shopping, cooking and keeping the place going as much as they want to and are able to, and get out to what they enjoy in Eastleigh and across Hampshire. Where somebody wants a job, a course or a regular club, that goes into the support plan rather than at its edges. The work is won in the detail. How much noise a room holds. Whether a change of staff or plan needs flagging several days ahead. Which way of communicating genuinely reaches a person. For people with sight or hearing loss it also means keeping the layout of the house predictable and introducing ourselves properly every time rather than assuming recognition. Where somebody has a physical disability, equipment and layout are set up to help them do things for themselves. We keep the staff team consistent and work closely with families, social workers and health colleagues. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. Visitors are welcome.
