About Lammas Lodge

Lammas Lodge is a residential care home in Hereford supporting adults with a learning disability or autism. It is a home rather than somewhere people have been referred into, and we want everyone living here to feel that it belongs to them. Support is planned individually and practically. It can include help with personal care, medication, cooking, laundry, money and appointments, and it covers the things that make a week worth having: seeing people, going out, keeping up an interest, being useful, having something to look forward to. We communicate in whatever way suits each person, and we give people the time to do things themselves even when stepping in would be quicker. Where somebody wants more independence, support is planned to withdraw gradually as they grow into it, and we treat that as the whole point rather than a loss of service. Most of the people we support are younger adults, and we are careful not to assume that a shared diagnosis means shared wishes. Respite stays are available as well, giving family carers a real break and letting somebody try the house first. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and visit, meet the people who live here and see how the household actually runs.
