About Melton Short Breaks Service

Melton Short Breaks is a care home in Melton Mowbray providing short stays for adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, including people with a physical disability and people with a visual or hearing impairment. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We would rather set that out at the start than let a family find it later. The inspection identified things that were not good enough for the people staying here, and we have accepted that. Anyone considering us should ask precisely what was found and precisely what has changed since. A short break is not a gap to be filled. For the person staying it should be something to look forward to rather than dread, with familiar staff, familiar routines and a plan that reflects how they actually live at home. For the family it should be a genuine rest rather than a few days spent worrying. That means preparing properly, well before somebody arrives rather than on the doorstep. Please visit before deciding anything, read the inspection report in full and judge us on what you find.
