About Dinorwic Road
Dinorwic Road is a residential care home in Southport supporting adults with a learning disability and autistic adults. Most of the people who live here are younger adults, and we also offer respite stays. It is a house rather than an institution, and we run it on the understanding that it belongs to the people who live in it. The ordinary decisions sit with them. What goes on the shopping list. How a bedroom looks. Whether Saturday means going out or staying in. Whether a visitor is welcome today. These are not small matters when a great deal of somebody's life may already have been decided by other people. Support is planned individually and changes as people do. Some want to build skills and take on more for themselves, and our job then is to step back at the right pace and stay near enough to help if something does not go to plan. Others want a settled and predictable life with reliable support around it, which is an equally good outcome. For autistic people, the environment is part of the care. Noise, lighting, changes of staff and short notice can shape a whole week. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Visitors are welcome.
