About Beechdale
Beechdale is a residential home in Preston supporting adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, people living with dementia, and people with a physical disability or a visual or hearing impairment. We also offer respite stays. Our approach starts from the individual rather than the diagnosis. Two people with similar needs on paper will want very different things from their week, and a home that treats them as a category will suit neither. So we spend time learning how each person likes their day to run, what they want to be able to do, what they find difficult, and which parts of life they would rather handle themselves. Communication gets particular attention here. So much of what goes wrong in this kind of support comes down to somebody not being understood, or not being given the time to make themselves understood. We work at the pace of the person rather than the pace of the building, and we never take quietness as evidence that all is well. Where people want to get out into Preston, see family, or keep up something regular, our job is to make it happen rather than explain why it is awkward. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Good. Families and professionals are welcome to visit and see for themselves how the house works.
