About The Old Vicarage

The Old Vicarage is a small residential home in Grimsby, and it is home to adults with learning disabilities and to autistic adults. We also offer respite stays, which we plan well in advance so that a short stay means coming somewhere familiar rather than somewhere new. We run this as the residents' house. People choose how their bedrooms look, they have a say in the shopping and the meals, and they get involved in cooking, gardening and looking after the place as much as they want to. Support covers personal care where it is needed, medication, health appointments and money, and it covers getting out to whatever somebody is interested in, whether that is work, a course, a club, church or a regular visit to family. Most of our effort goes into understanding each person properly. Some people here use speech, some use signs, symbols or a device, and some tell us what they need through what they do. We learn it, write it down so it is not lost when staff change, and take advice from families and from health colleagues who have known somebody far longer than we have. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. The people who live here are the better judges of us, though, so please come and visit and see what you think.
