About The Gables
The Gables is a residential care home in Lincoln, and we support adults with learning disabilities, autistic people, adults living with mental ill health, people with physical disabilities, people living with sight or hearing loss, and younger adults. Respite stays are available as well. We run a household rather than a facility, and supporting a mixed group well depends on treating each person as an individual rather than as a category. Support is agreed with the person, written in terms they recognise, and reviewed as things change. Some residents need a great deal of hands on help with washing, dressing, medication and mobility. Others mainly want a settled home and support that is there when they ask for it. For autistic people, predictability is a need rather than a preference, so changes are explained in advance, staffing is kept consistent where we can, and noise, light and busyness are taken seriously. For residents with physical disabilities the emphasis is on equipment that fits and transfers handled safely and without embarrassment. For those living with sight or hearing loss, unhurried communication makes most of the difference. Wherever we can, we do things alongside people rather than for them, because a skill used is a skill kept. We are also interested in what people want beyond the house, from college and work to hobbies and family. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families and professionals are welcome to visit and ask us anything.
