About Upton Grey Close Care Home
Upton Grey Close Care Home is a residential home near Winchester supporting adults with a learning disability and autistic adults. We are a house rather than an institution, and the people who live here have a real say in how their own home is run, from the shopping list to how the week is planned. Support is worked out individually. Some of the people here need help with most parts of the day, while others need very little practical help but rely on us for routine, encouragement and staff who understand how they communicate. We take our time working that out at the beginning, and we ask the people who know a person best. Everyday life covers cooking, shopping, laundry, keeping your own room as you like it, deciding what to do at the weekend and getting out into the local area. We support people to do as much for themselves as they can and want to, which sometimes means standing back and letting something take longer. Our staff are trained for the individuals they support, including communication and positive ways of responding when somebody is distressed. Keeping the team consistent matters, because trust builds over months rather than in a single shift. We also offer respite stays, which give family carers a break and the person a proper stay with us. Please get in touch if you would like to look round.
