About Heathfield House
Heathfield House is a residential home in Stafford supporting adults with a learning disability and autistic adults. We are here to help people live the life they choose, with support sitting quietly behind them rather than directing them. That means finding out what each person actually wants, which takes time and takes learning how they communicate. Some people tell us directly. Others show us in ways that only become clear once you know them. Either way, decisions get made with the person, and we would rather take longer over a conversation than move faster without them. Routine and predictability matter a great deal here, so we give proper notice of anything that is changing. People are involved in running the house, in choosing what they eat, in how their own space looks and in what they do with their week. Where somebody wants work, college, sport or regular contact with family, we arrange the support to make it happen. We offer respite stays alongside permanent places. We should be open with anyone considering the home. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We have examined the inspection findings and are working through them, and we would rather you asked us about it plainly than found out later. Please contact us if you would like to visit.
