About Greenfields
Greenfields is a residential care home in Shrewsbury supporting adults with a range of needs. The people who live here include older adults, adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, people with a physical disability and people with sight or hearing loss, and a number of younger adults. We also offer respite stays, whether that is a planned break for a family carer or a settled place for a short while when things at home have become hard. The house belongs to the people in it. Everyone has a say in their own room, their own routine and what goes on the shopping list, and we support people to keep up the courses, jobs, clubs and friendships that were part of life before they moved in. Where somebody finds spoken conversation difficult, we use whatever way of communicating works for them and we give decisions the time they deserve. Independence is what we are aiming at, and that means accepting some risk rather than removing every possibility of it. Risks are talked through with the person and with their family or advocate, and weighed properly rather than used as a reason to say no. Families, advocates and social workers are welcome to visit and to keep asking questions once someone has moved in. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are considering Greenfields, come and meet the people who live here and see how the house feels.
