About Walsingham Support - 2 Ashley Close
2 Ashley Close is a small residential home in Hemel Hempstead. We support older people and younger adults, including adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults, people managing mental health conditions and people with physical disabilities. Respite stays are available. Being small is the point rather than a limitation. This is a house and it feels like one. People have their own space and their own belongings, and the household is run with the people who live in it rather than around them. Meals, shopping, laundry and how the place looks are all decisions people take part in. We plan support around what each person wants from their life rather than around a timetable that suits the rota. That might be help with cooking 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 notice of change well in advance. The house is arranged so that people with reduced mobility can get about safely and independently, and our staff are trained in moving and handling and in the equipment people rely on. Communication takes different forms here and we learn each person's, whether speech, signing, pictures or objects. Supporting mental health needs means patience, consistency and working alongside community teams. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch if you would like to visit.
