About Falcons Rest and Poachers Cottage

Falcons Rest and Poachers Cottage is a residential care home at Wormelow in Herefordshire, supporting adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults, including many younger adults. We offer permanent places and planned respite stays. We are a small rural home and that shapes how we work. Staff know every resident properly rather than from a note in a file, the pace is unhurried and there is space outdoors that people can actually use. For many of the adults we support, a quieter setting with predictable rhythms is not a compromise but the thing that makes daily life manageable. Residents have their own rooms, a real say in how the household runs and support planned with them rather than written about them. We look for ways to build skills and confidence rather than quietly taking tasks over. Getting the environment right is central. Noise, lighting, predictability and knowing what happens next often decide whether someone is settled or on edge. Where a person signs, uses symbols or an app, or communicates through behaviour we have learned to read, the responsibility for understanding is ours. Being rural does not mean being cut off, and we support people to keep up college, work, friendships and family contact. The Care Quality Commission rated us good at our most recent inspection. Please come and visit and meet the people who live here.
