About Vicarage Lodge

Vicarage Lodge is a care home in Grimsby. We provide residential care for adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. We are pleased with that and cautious about it, because the standard is far easier to reach than to hold and the quickest way to lose it is to start quoting it at people. What gets us there is not complicated. People here have a genuine say over an ordinary week, and staff who know them properly rather than in outline. Support planned with each individual and reviewed honestly instead of filed. Communication taken seriously, so that where somebody does not use speech we learn how they tell us things. Routines that hold steady, and changes explained well in advance. The test we apply is whether the people living here have lives they would recognise as their own. If everyone's week looks the same, something has gone wrong. Families and social workers considering a placement are welcome to visit, meet the people living here and ask us whatever they need to.
