About Quality Care Providers
Quality Care Providers is a residential care home in Reading. We support adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, people managing mental health conditions, people with a physical disability and people with a visual or hearing impairment, including younger adults. We also offer respite stays for people who need somewhere for a shorter period. This is a home rather than an institution, and we try to keep that distinction real rather than decorative. People have their own room and their own belongings, and a genuine say in how their day and their week go. Support covers the parts of life that need it, from personal care and health appointments through to cooking, managing money, using local facilities, seeing family and friends and taking part in whatever someone enjoys. For many of the people we support, the aim is not simply to be looked after but to be helped towards greater independence, and we plan on that basis. Communication is on the person's terms. We adapt how we explain things, whether spoken, written or visual, we give people time, and we make sure they are included in conversations about their own life rather than talked about. Changes are explained in advance wherever we can manage it, because being taken by surprise is difficult for anyone. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We keep asking the people who live here, and their families and advocates, what would make things better, and we act on what we are told.

Residential Care at Quality Care Providers

Typical weekly fees across the South East sit between £1100 and £1450, while Reading Council usually pays around £800 to £950 for a funded placement, so it is worth asking how any gap would be covered.
