About Tanners Wood
We are Tanners Wood, a residential care home in Abbots Langley, Hertfordshire, supporting adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults. We provide permanent places and respite stays. A small home allows support to be genuinely individual rather than a compromise between competing needs, and that is the main reason we work the way we do. Staff know everyone here properly, including the things that never make it into a care plan, such as which noises are unbearable on a difficult day or which topic will always improve one. We treat autism as something that shapes how a person experiences the place they live, not as a line at the top of a file. Predictability matters. The sensory environment matters. Being told what is going to happen, and having that turn out to be true, matters more than reassurance ever does. When those things are wrong, nothing else we do compensates. People here make their own choices and do as much for themselves as they can, with help offered rather than assumed. Families and advocates are involved to the degree the person wants them to be. Respite guests visit first where possible, so that arriving is familiar rather than a shock. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
