About 26 Brookside Avenue

Brookside Avenue in Loughborough is a small residential care home. We support adults with a learning disability, autistic adults and people with mental health needs, including younger adults, and we offer respite stays for people who need a short break or whose family carer needs one. This is a house on an ordinary street and we run it as a home rather than an institution. Everyone who lives here has their own room and their own things, and there are few of us, which means the people supporting you know you properly rather than reading about you in a file. Support is planned with each person in a form they understand. It covers how they like to be helped, what they enjoy, what they find difficult and what they want to be doing with their time. People go out into Loughborough, keep up college, work, clubs and family contact, and we support that rather than tidy it away for convenience. Where someone does not use speech, we learn the ways they do communicate and make sure the whole team knows them. Where somebody is distressed, we look for the cause instead of the quickest way to stop it, and any restriction on a person's freedom is agreed formally and reviewed. At our most recent inspection the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. Families, advocates and professionals are welcome to visit.
