About Black Bull Lane
Our home on Black Bull Lane in Preston is a residential care home supporting a mixed group of adults. Some of our residents are older people who need help with the practical parts of the day. Others are adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, people with mental health needs or people with a physical disability, and many are younger adults. Planning for individuals is what makes that work. One person may want help to wash and dress and then to be left in peace. Another may want staff alongside them cooking, going out locally, getting to an appointment or working through something that has gone wrong. We pay attention to how each person communicates, what they find difficult and what helps them settle, and we build the plan with them and with the people who know them well. Where somebody needs help to move about safely the right equipment is in place and our staff are trained for it. For residents with mental health needs we keep the household calm and predictable and work with local services and doctors. Everyday life includes cooking, shopping, keeping your own room as you want it and getting out into the local area. Respite stays are available. Please contact us if you would like to look round.
