About Mrs Valerie Bullman - 18 Leafdown Close
We are a small residential care home at Leafdown Close in Cannock, supporting adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults. We offer permanent places and planned respite stays. Being small is the point rather than a limitation. Staff know every resident properly rather than from a note in a file, the pace of the day is unhurried, and preferences are remembered without anyone having to ask twice. For many of the adults we support, a quiet household with predictable rhythms is what makes daily life manageable. Residents have their own rooms, a genuine say in how the house runs and support planned with them rather than written about them. We look for ways to build skills and confidence rather than quietly taking tasks over, because independence grows through practice. Getting the environment right matters enormously. Noise, lighting, predictability and knowing what is coming next often decide whether someone is settled or on edge, and we shape the house around the people living in it. Where a person signs, uses symbols or an app, or communicates through behaviour we have learned to read, the responsibility for understanding is ours. We also support people to keep up college, work, friendships and family contact. The Care Quality Commission rated us good at our most recent inspection. Please come and visit, meet the people who live here and ask us how we would support the person you have in mind.
