About Waring Close

Waring Close is a residential care home in Leicester supporting adults with a learning disability and autistic adults. We also offer respite stays. It is a house rather than an institution, and we run it on the understanding that it belongs to the people who live in it. The everyday decisions sit with them. What goes on the shopping list. How a bedroom looks. Whether Saturday means going out or staying in. Whether a visitor is welcome today. When much of somebody's life may already have been arranged by other people, these decisions matter a great deal. Support is planned individually and changes as people do. Some want to build skills and take on more for themselves, and our part is to step back at the right speed and stay near enough to help if something does not go to plan. Others want a settled and predictable life with reliable support around it, which is an equally proper outcome. For autistic people, the environment is part of the care. Noise, lighting, changes of staff and short notice can shape an entire week, so we plan for them rather than dealing with the consequences afterwards. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Visitors are welcome.
