About The Mount
The Mount is a residential care home in Burton on Trent. We support adults, including younger adults, who have a learning disability or autism, people living with mental ill health, people with physical disabilities and people whose sight or hearing is impaired. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. This is people's home and we try to run it as one. Everyone has their own room and their own belongings, and there is genuine choice about the ordinary things, what is for tea, how the day is spent, who comes into your room and how the house feels to live in. Where a decision is genuinely hard, our job is to support somebody to make it rather than to make it for them. Communication is central to the work. Where a person does not use speech, or where sight or hearing makes the usual channels difficult, we learn how they do communicate and we record it so that every member of staff responds in the same way rather than by guesswork. When life becomes difficult we look for the cause rather than reaching for a label, and we agree in advance, in calm moments, what actually helps. We work with families, social workers, GPs and community mental health teams and we keep everybody informed. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please visit and see the house for yourself.
