About Wellington Road
Wellington Road is a small residential care home in Preston supporting adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, including younger adults. We work in a deliberately domestic way, because this is a house where people live rather than a unit where care is delivered. Being small means the team know each person properly rather than relying on written handovers, which matters enormously when somebody communicates in their own way or when a change in mood is the first sign that something is wrong. We spend time learning how a person tells us they are content, bored, unwell or unsettled, and we make sure everybody reads those signs the same way. People here choose how to spend their time, keep their own things around them and take on as much of the ordinary running of a house as they want. Where somebody is working towards more independence, we look for the practical steps and go at their pace rather than ours. Respite stays are available as well, for people needing short term support and for families who need a break. We have not yet received an overall rating from the Care Quality Commission. Until we do, the fairest way to judge us is to visit, see how people here spend their day and ask the team what they know about the people they support.
