About Oakenshaw House

Oakenshaw House is a residential care home in Rochdale supporting younger adults, including people who have a learning disability and people who are autistic. Everyone here has a support plan they have had a hand in shaping. For some people the priority is practical skills, cooking, budgeting, using public transport and managing a routine, with a view to greater independence later on. For others it is about having consistent support in place so that life can be steady, sociable and enjoyable without constant upheaval. We keep the house calm and predictable. The autistic people we support tell us that knowing what is coming matters enormously, so we plan ahead, we explain changes before they happen and we take sensory needs seriously when we organise shared spaces and activities. When somebody is finding things difficult, our starting point is to work out why rather than to manage the behaviour and leave the cause alone. Rochdale has plenty going on and we encourage people to be part of it, whether that is college, a job, a club or simply a regular trip into town. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please contact us to arrange a visit.
