About Welland House - Occupation Road

Welland House is a residential care home in Corby in North Northamptonshire. We support older people and younger adults, including adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults, people with physical disabilities and people living with sight or hearing loss. Respite stays are available. Because the people living here have genuinely different needs, we plan support one person at a time. What helps an older person feel settled is not what builds confidence in a younger adult with a learning disability, and we would rather do both properly than stretch one routine across everybody. That means paying attention to particulars: how somebody likes to be spoken to, what they can manage themselves and would rather we left alone, what tends to make a difficult day. Where a physical disability or sensory loss affects how somebody gets about, we design around the person rather than expecting them to accommodate the building. Small habits carry a lot of weight: saying who you are as you come into a room, leaving furniture exactly where it lives, checking that glasses and hearing aids are working. Understanding how each person communicates is essential, particularly where speech is not the main route. We learn each person's way, record it so that everyone responds the same, and keep checking we have understood. At our most recent inspection the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall, and we keep asking the people living here what should change.
