About Turning Point - Sybden
Turning Point at Sybden is a residential care home near Great Gaddesden in Hertfordshire, supporting adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, including younger adults building a more independent life. Ordinary life is the point of the place. People here are supported to cook, shop, keep their own room exactly as they want it, get out to college, work or a club, and have a genuine say in how the week is arranged. For autistic residents we pay close attention to the things that make a home manageable: steady routines, proper warning before anything changes, and a quiet space to retreat to when the day has been a lot. Communication is something we take time over, because people express themselves in many different ways and it is our job to learn each person's way rather than expect them to learn ours. Respite stays are available, which can give a family a break or serve as a trial for somebody considering a move. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Good. If you would like to visit or talk things through, please get in touch and we will take it at whatever pace suits you and the person you are asking about.
