About House Community Trust
Rutland House Community Trust provides a residential home in Oakham for older people, for adults with learning disabilities, and for people living with physical disabilities. Having that mix living together works better than people sometimes expect. Support is built around the individual rather than around a category, so one person may need help with almost every part of the day and another very little, and both live here on the same terms. We ask each person what a good day looks like for them, write it down in a form that makes sense to them, and change it when they say so. People here are involved in the running of the house as far as they want to be, from choosing meals to helping with the shopping, and we support people to get out into Oakham and further afield, to clubs, appointments and family. Communication gets particular attention, using speech, signing, symbols or simply the understanding that comes from knowing somebody well over a long period. Short respite stays are available alongside permanent places. Our most recent rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch if you would like to come and see the house.
