About United Response - 66 & 66a Lemsford Road
Here is the About Us section for United Response — 66 & 66a Lemsford Road: --- We are United Response, a residential care home based in St Albans, Hertfordshire, and we support adults with learning disabilities, autism and physical disabilities in a homely and familiar setting. Respite care is also something we offer, providing short term support for individuals and their families when it is needed most. We know that moving into or visiting a care home is a significant moment for anyone, and we take that seriously. Our aim is straightforward: to make sure every person who lives or stays with us is treated as an individual, with their own preferences, routines and wishes genuinely respected. We work hard to understand what matters to each person and to build support around that, rather than expecting people to fit around us. Our home on Lemsford Road sits within a residential part of St Albans, with good links to the local community, which we think is important. Being part of everyday life, rather than separate from it, makes a real difference to the people we support. We want to be honest with anyone who is considering us. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission resulted in an overall rating of inadequate, and we are not shying away from that. We are actively working through the areas identified for improvement, with clear steps in place and a genuine commitment to getting things right. We understand that trust has to be earned, and we are focused on earning it through consistent, meaningful improvements in how we operate day to day. If you would like to find out more about us, speak to our team, or arrange a visit, we would welcome the conversation. We believe the best way to understand what we offer is to come and see for yourself.
