About Roselodge
Roselodge is a small residential home in Hatfield. We support adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults, including younger adults, and we offer respite stays. The atmosphere here is domestic rather than clinical, which is deliberate. People have their own space and their own belongings, and the household is run with them rather than around them. Cooking, shopping, laundry and what goes on the walls are all things people take part in, because independence grows out of doing things rather than being told about them. We plan support around what each person wants from their life. That might be help with meals and managing money, support to keep a college place or a job, assistance to travel independently, or somebody alongside on a difficult day. For autistic people we pay close attention to sensory needs and give plenty of notice before anything changes, since unexpected change is usually the hardest part. Communication takes different forms here and we learn each person's, whether speech, signing, pictures, objects or the particular way somebody shows they have had enough. Our staff are trained in positive behaviour support and we keep the team consistent so that people are supported by those who know them well. Respite guests are welcome to visit beforehand so that the house is familiar when they arrive, because arriving somewhere strange in the middle of a difficult week helps nobody. Please get in touch if you would like to come and look round.
