About Marika House
Marika House is a residential care home in Romsey, Hampshire, supporting adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, people with sight or hearing loss and younger adults. 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 and around Romsey. Where somebody wants a job, a course or a regular club, that belongs in the support plan. The work turns on detail and consistency. How much noise a room holds. Whether a change of staff or plan has been flagged days in advance. Which way of communicating genuinely reaches a person. For those with sight or hearing loss it also means keeping the layout predictable and introducing ourselves properly every time. We should be open about our regulator. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission found that we require improvement. We have an action plan covering the points raised and are working through it with the whole staff team, and we are happy to talk any family or referrer through what was found, what has changed and what remains in hand. Visitors are welcome to come and see the house for themselves.
