About Clock Tower Mews
Clock Tower Mews is a residential care home in Potters Bar supporting adults with a learning disability, autistic adults and people with physical disabilities. We also offer respite stays. We run the home on the understanding that it belongs to the people who live in it. They decide how their rooms look, what goes on the shopping list, how a weekend is spent and who is part of it. Those may sound like small matters, but when much of somebody's life has already been arranged by other people, they are not small at all. Support is planned around each person and reviewed as they change. Some people here want to build skills and take on more for themselves, and our job then is to step back at the right speed and be there if something does not go to plan. Others want a settled, predictable life with reliable support around it, which is an equally good result. For autistic people, the environment is part of the care rather than the background. Noise, lighting, changes of staff and unfamiliar visitors can shape a whole week, so we plan for them properly. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. You would be very welcome to visit and see how the home works.
