About Holly House
Holly House is a residential care home in Blackburn. The people who live here are adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, and younger adults who want somewhere settled with staff who know them properly. We also offer respite stays, whether that is a planned break for a family carer or a short spell somewhere steady when things at home have become difficult. We run this as a household. People decide how their rooms look, join in with cooking and shopping if they want to, and carry on with the college courses, jobs, clubs and friendships they had before they arrived. Support plans are written with each person in whatever way they communicate best, and we give decisions the time they need rather than pushing them through to suit us. Independence is what the work is for, and that means taking sensible risks rather than avoiding everything difficult. If somebody wants to travel a route alone, cook a meal or manage their own money, we support them to learn it, weighing the risks with them and with their family or advocate. The Care Quality Commission has not yet given us an overall rating. That is a reason to ask us more, not less. If you are considering Holly House, ask how we recruit and train staff, how we handle safeguarding and complaints, and what you would do if you were unhappy about something. Come and meet the people who live here before deciding anything.
