About York Road
York Road is a residential care home in Southport supporting younger adults, including people who have a learning disability and people who are autistic. We are a small household rather than an institution, and the people who live here have a genuine say in how it runs. Support is agreed with each person and ranges from help with personal care and medication to practical assistance with cooking, budgeting, shopping and appointments, to simply having reliable people nearby while somebody gets on with college, work or seeing friends. For the autistic people we support, predictability does much of the work. We give notice before anything changes, we pay attention to noise, light and how busy the shared areas get and we learn how each person prefers to be given information. Where somebody becomes distressed, our first question is what caused it rather than how to manage it. Southport has plenty within reach and we encourage people to make use of it, whether that is college, a job, a club or simply a regular trip into town. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please contact us if you would like to visit.
