About Leafield Residential Care Home
Leafield Residential Care Home is in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, and the people who live here are a broader group than many homes take on. Older people who need help with daily living, including those living with dementia. Adults with learning disabilities and autistic people. Adults living with mental ill health. People with physical disabilities and people living with sight or hearing loss. Younger adults. Respite stays are available too. A mixed household only works if people are treated as individuals rather than as categories, and that is genuinely how we run the place. Support is agreed with the person, written in terms they recognise, and reviewed as things change. Some residents need a great deal of hands on help with washing, dressing, medication and mobility. Others mainly want stability, company when they choose it, and a household that holds together through a hard week. For autistic people, predictability is a need rather than a nicety, so changes are explained in advance and staffing is kept steady. For residents living with dementia we keep routines and surroundings familiar and give people time instead of hurrying them. For those living with sight or hearing loss, unhurried communication makes most of the difference. We would far rather hear about a small problem early than a large one later, so families who tell us when something is not right are doing us a favour. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. You are welcome to visit on an ordinary day and take your time deciding.
