About Preston
Our home in Preston provides residential care for older people and for younger adults, including people with learning disabilities, autistic people, people living with mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities and people with sight or hearing loss. We also offer respite stays. Supporting people with such different needs under one roof only works if nobody is treated as a type. We take each person as they come, learn how they want their day to go, and build support around that. Some residents want a lot of company and occupation. Others want quiet and predictability. We make room for both. The building is arranged so that people with reduced mobility or restricted sight can get about safely and independently, and our staff are trained in moving and handling, in supporting people who communicate differently, and in mental health awareness. Where someone uses signing, pictures or objects to communicate, we learn their way of doing it. We involve families and advocates as much as each person wants, hold regular residents meetings and act on what is raised. If something is not working, we would far rather be told early. Preston is where most of our residents have their roots, and we keep links with family, friends, local groups and places of worship going. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and look round and talk to the people who live here.
