About Flexible Support Options (Pengarth)
Pengarth is a residential care home in Morpeth, Northumberland. We support adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, people with mental health needs, people with physical disabilities and people with a visual or hearing impairment. We support both older people and younger adults, and we offer respite stays. Supporting people this different from one another means we cannot run the house to a single pattern. What we can do is start from the individual. Before anyone moves in we spend proper time working out how they communicate, what they find difficult, what settles them and what they want their life to look like. The plan follows from that and it belongs to them. In practice the house is flexible. Some residents want a predictable structure and tell us clearly when it slips. Others prefer to please themselves. People go out into Morpeth and the surrounding country, keep up activities, work or college, family visits and their own interests. Where behaviour becomes distressed, we treat it as communication and look for the cause rather than the quickest way to stop it. Restrictions are a last resort and we keep them under review. The Care Quality Commission rated us good overall at our most recent inspection. Families and professionals are welcome to visit and see how the house works.
