About Old Court Barn Residential Care Home

Old Court Barn Residential Care Home is a residential care home at Lugwardine in Herefordshire, supporting adults with a learning disability and autistic adults. We provide permanent residential care and we also offer respite stays, which many families rely on for a planned break or at short notice when circumstances change. We are a small setting in a rural part of the county, and that shapes how we work. Staff know everyone here properly, so changes in mood or health tend to be noticed early rather than after they have become a problem. Routines matter a great deal to many of the people we support, and we hold to them. When something has to change, we explain it in good time and in a way that makes sense to the person, using whatever form of communication works best for them. Our aim is an ordinary life rather than a managed one. That means people doing their own shopping where they can, choosing what goes on the meal plan, keeping up work or college placements, and seeing family without having to fit into our timetable. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families and professionals are welcome to visit, meet the team and see the house as it actually is on a normal day, which is the only fair way to judge a place like this.
