About Coopers Lodge
Coopers Lodge is a residential home in Smethwick supporting adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, with a particular focus on younger adults. We offer permanent places and respite stays. Because many of the people living here are younger, the house is run with that firmly in mind. Support is about having a life rather than being looked after. That means keeping up with friends and family, getting out into Smethwick and the wider area, going to college or work where that is what somebody wants, having real choices about food and routine, and being helped to do things independently wherever possible. We pay particular attention to communication. So much of what goes wrong in support for autistic people and people with a learning disability comes down to somebody not being understood, or not being given the time to make themselves understood. We learn how each person communicates, we work at their pace, and we never treat quietness as proof that everything is fine. Respite stays give family carers a genuine break while offering the person staying a change of scene on terms that suit them. We do not currently hold an overall rating from the Care Quality Commission. Families and professionals are welcome to visit, meet the people who live here, and see how the house actually works.
