About The Bungalow
The Bungalow is a small residential care home in Accrington, Lancashire, and we support younger adults. We also offer respite stays, planned in advance so that a short stay means arriving somewhere familiar rather than somewhere strange. Being small is the point here rather than a limitation. The people who live with us are known properly, the staff supporting somebody are the same faces week to week, and the house can be run around the residents instead of around a timetable. People choose how their rooms look, have a real say in the meals and the shopping, and get involved in cooking, laundry and looking after the place as much as they want to. Support covers personal care where it is needed, medication, health appointments and managing money, and it covers helping people get out to whatever matters to them locally. Because we are working with younger adults, we are also interested in what comes next. Where somebody wants to work, study, volunteer or build towards more independence, we help them do it at their own pace rather than treating this as the end of the road. Every plan is written with the individual and reviewed properly. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families and professionals are welcome to visit.
