About Wellcroft House
Wellcroft House is a residential care home in Wednesbury. We support adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults, people with physical disabilities and people with sight or hearing loss, including younger adults, and we offer respite stays. This is a house run with the people who live in it rather than around them. Residents choose how their rooms look, what they eat, how they spend their time and what part they play in the household. Cooking, shopping and laundry are things people do with support where they can, because independence grows out of doing things rather than being told about them. Practical detail matters a great deal. The building is arranged so that people with reduced mobility or restricted sight can get about safely and independently, and our staff are trained in moving and handling and in the equipment people rely on. Where sight or hearing is affected we pay attention to lighting, contrast, sound and how we announce ourselves before doing anything. Communication takes different forms and we learn each person's, whether speech, signing, pictures, objects or the particular way somebody shows they have had enough. For autistic residents we keep routines stable and give notice of change well in advance. Wednesbury is home for the people who live here and we support them to use local shops, leisure facilities and groups as part of ordinary life. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch if you would like to visit.
