About Agnes House Flat 1
Here at Agnes House Flat 1, we offer residential care for adults with learning disabilities and autism in the heart of Oldbury, Sandwell. We are a small, homely setting and we take real pride in making sure everyone who lives with us feels genuinely at home, not just housed. We understand that moving into a care setting, or even coming to us for a short respite stay, can feel like a big step. That is why we take our time getting to know each person properly, learning what matters to them, what their routines look like, and what brings them comfort and joy. No two people are the same, and we never treat them as if they were. Our team works closely with residents and their families to make sure support is shaped around the individual rather than around what is most convenient for us. For those who come to us for respite care, we aim to provide a calm and familiar feeling environment so that the break feels positive for everyone involved, including the people who usually provide care at home. We are pleased that our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection rated us as good, and we see that as an honest reflection of the environment we have worked to create here. It is not something we take for granted though. We keep talking, keep listening, and keep looking at how we can do better for the people in our care. If you are considering Agnes House Flat 1 for yourself or someone you care about, we would always encourage you to come and visit us, have a cup of tea, and get a proper feel for who we are. We believe the best way to understand what we offer is simply to see it for yourself.
