About Walsingham Support - Pound Farm

Pound Farm, part of Walsingham Support, is a residential care home near Ross on Wye in Herefordshire. We support adults with a learning disability or autism, adults with physical disabilities and people with a visual or hearing impairment, providing a home where support is shaped around the individual rather than the other way round. What we try to offer is a reliable structure, communication pitched to each person and the patience to let somebody do a thing in their own way and their own time. Support can include personal care, medication, help around the house, getting to appointments and taking part in life beyond the front door, from ordinary errands to activities somebody genuinely enjoys. Where a person has goals of their own we plan support that steps back as their confidence grows. We support younger adults and older adults alike, and we are careful not to assume that what suits one generation suits another. Respite stays are available too, which can give a family carer a real break and can let someone try the place before any permanent decision is taken. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are considering Pound Farm, please arrange a visit, meet the people who live here and see for yourself how the household works.
