About The Gables Care Home
The Gables Care Home is a care home in Bedlington, Northumberland. We provide residential care for adults, mainly younger adults, including people managing a mental health condition, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. Supporting people with long standing mental health needs takes patience more than technique. Most of the people who live here have been dealing with their condition for years, have been told what to do by a great many professionals, and know more about what helps them than any assessment is likely to capture. We start from that, we take the answer seriously, and we do not treat a difficult period as evidence that somebody should be moved on. Living here is meant to be ordinary. People have their own rooms and routines, come and go, use the town and make their own decisions, including ones we might not have chosen for them. Where somebody is working towards independent living, we put real effort into it rather than listing it as an aim. Consistency counts for more than enthusiasm with most of the people we support, particularly those who have had too many things change without warning. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are looking at a placement in this part of Northumberland, please come and see us and ask us anything.
