About Breagha House
Breagha House is a residential home in Retford supporting adults with a learning disability and autistic adults. The people who live here are largely younger adults, and our purpose is to help each of them live the life they want with the right amount of support behind them, no more and no less. That balance is the hardest part of this work. Too little support and people are left struggling. Too much and independence quietly disappears. We keep checking where the line sits for each person, and we involve them in that conversation rather than deciding on their behalf. Routine, predictability and clear notice of change matter here, particularly for the autistic people we support. Alongside longer term placements we offer respite stays, giving families a planned break and giving the person a settled place to be for a short period. We should be open about our current position. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We have gone through the inspection findings in detail and the work to address them is under way. If you are considering the home, please ask us about it directly. We would rather have that conversation than avoid it. We are glad to show anyone round who is weighing up options in this part of Nottinghamshire.
