About Parkbrook Lodge
Parkbrook Lodge is a care home in Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, providing residential support for adults with a learning disability or autism, including younger adults. We also offer respite stays, which can give a family carer a genuine break while the person staying with us has company and a change of surroundings. This is somebody's home before it is anything else. People here have their own rooms, their own routines and a real say in how the day goes. Support is about making ordinary things possible rather than doing them for people. Cooking a meal you like. Doing your own shopping. Managing your money. Getting to a club, a course or a job. Seeing family when you want to. We are careful about that distinction, because independence is easily worn away by help that arrives too quickly. We pay close attention to how people communicate, which is not always through words, and we take the time needed to understand properly rather than assume. Plans are written with the person and changed when they stop fitting. We work alongside families and with social work and health colleagues, since support that everybody has agreed on is the support that holds. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We keep examining our practice around choice and independence, where any provider can drift. If you are considering a place or a respite stay with us, please come and visit and meet the people who live here.
