About Treetops
Treetops is a residential care home in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, supporting adults living with learning disabilities and autism, including younger adults moving into adult services for the first time. That transition is a big one and it is often harder on families than on anybody else. We try to make it a beginning rather than a loss. The people who live here are adults and we support them to run their lives as adults do, with choices about their day, their room, their money and their company, and with help where help is genuinely needed. We support people to build on what they can already do, whether that is cooking, shopping, travelling independently, keeping up with college or work, or managing their own appointments. Communication is planned around each individual, since being properly understood is what makes choice real rather than theoretical, and we take change at a pace people can actually manage. Respite stays are available for short periods of support or to give a family carer a planned break. We are registered with the Care Quality Commission and have not yet been given an overall rating. We say so plainly and welcome visits.
