About Blueberry Close
Blueberry Close is a residential care home in Woodford Green, supporting a wide range of adults. Those living here include older people, adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults, people managing mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities and people living with sight or hearing loss. We are home to younger adults as well as older ones, and we offer respite stays. A mixed household asks more of us, not less. It means we cannot run one routine and expect it to suit everybody, so we work out individually what a good day looks like for each person and build from there. For some that is structure and company. For others it is being left largely alone, and we treat that as an equally legitimate preference rather than something to be gently corrected. Where somebody communicates differently, whether because of a sensory impairment or for any other reason, we sort that out first and properly. Everything else we do depends on it. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We are not going to write around that. We accept what was identified and we are working on it. If you are considering this home for someone, please come without an appointment, speak to residents and relatives, and ask us plainly what has improved and what is still in hand.
