About Orchard Lodge
Orchard Lodge is a care home in Nuneaton, providing residential care for adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults, including younger adults. Older people live here too, and we offer respite stays. The house is meant to feel like one. People choose how their rooms look, have a say over meals and shopping, and decide what to do with their own time. Support arrives for the parts of life that are genuinely hard and stays out of the way of the parts that are not. Doing things for people who could do them with a bit of patience is one of the commonest failings in this work and we try hard to avoid it. For many of the younger adults here this is a first move away from family. We take that in stages, with visits and overnight stays and no pressure to decide quickly, and families stay involved for as long as everyone wants. Predictability matters, particularly for autistic adults, so we keep the staff team steady and explain changes before they happen rather than afterwards. Respite stays are planned with the same care as a permanent move, because a short stay that goes badly can set someone back a long way. We do not currently hold an overall rating from the Care Quality Commission. The most useful thing you can do is come and see the house on an ordinary day. You would be welcome any time.
