About Dovetail House
Dovetail House is a residential home in Mansfield supporting adults with a range of needs, including people with a learning disability and autistic adults, people living with mental health conditions, those with a physical disability, and people in recovery from alcohol or drug misuse. We offer permanent places and respite stays, and many of the people here are younger adults. Supporting that range under one roof only works if each person is known properly. A house where everybody is offered the same routine will suit some and quietly fail others, so we start from the individual: what they want their week to contain, what they find difficult, and which parts of life they would rather manage themselves. Where somebody is in recovery, consistency matters more than anything. Relapse is part of the pattern for many people, and treating it as a failure helps nobody. We aim to be steady, and to be there on the hard days as well as the straightforward ones. Communication gets close attention too, because being misunderstood is behind a great deal of what goes wrong in this kind of support. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Good. Families and professionals are welcome to visit and see how the house runs.
