About Oliver House

We are Oliver House, a residential care home in Lincoln. We support older people and younger adults, including adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults and people with a visual or hearing impairment, and we offer respite stays as well as permanent places. Where a learning disability and a sensory impairment sit together in the same person, the two cannot be dealt with separately. Somebody who cannot see or hear well and who also finds spoken language difficult needs communication that has been genuinely worked out rather than assumed, and an environment set up with them in mind. That is the first thing we do and we check it is working rather than trusting that it is. Predictability does much of the rest. Saying what will happen and when, and then being right about it, is worth more than reassurance. Where a routine matters we protect it, and where the physical environment causes difficulty we change the environment. Choice runs through the day as far as it can, with help offered rather than imposed. We are registered with the Care Quality Commission and do not currently hold an overall rating.
