About Mansard House
Mansard House is a care home in Preston, Lancashire. We provide residential care for adults with a learning disability, autistic adults and people with mental health needs, as well as for older people, and we offer respite stays for people who need care for a short while. The house is run around the people who live in it. Each person has their own support plan, written with them and in terms they understand, covering not just what help they need but what they want their week to contain. Work, college, the gym, family visits, the football, a quiet routine at home, all of it counts and all of it is worth protecting. Our team knows the people here properly, including how each person communicates when they are worried, unwell or fed up. That knowledge is what lets us step in early and gently, and it is why we work hard to keep staffing consistent rather than filling gaps with whoever is available. We are careful about anything that limits a person's freedom. Where a restriction is genuinely needed for safety it is agreed properly, recorded and reviewed, and we look constantly for ways to reduce it. At our most recent inspection the Care Quality Commission rated us outstanding overall. We were pleased, and we treat it as a standard to keep meeting rather than a badge to display. Families, advocates and professionals are welcome to visit and see the house at work.
