About Willows and Rosehill, Drummond Court
Willows and Rosehill at Drummond Court is a residential care home in Bury St Edmunds. We support older people and younger adults, including adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults, and we offer respite stays. The houses here are run with the people who live in them rather than around them. Residents choose how their rooms look, what they eat, how they spend their time and what part they play in the household. Cooking, shopping and laundry are things people do with support where they can, because independence grows out of doing things rather than being told about them. We plan support around what each person wants from their life rather than around a timetable that suits the rota. That might be help with cooking and managing money, support to keep a college place or a job, assistance to travel independently, or somebody alongside on a difficult day. For autistic people we pay close attention to sensory needs and give notice of change well in advance, because unexpected change is usually the hardest part. Communication takes different forms here and we learn each person's, whether speech, signing, pictures, objects or the particular way somebody shows they have had enough. Our staff are trained in positive behaviour support and we keep the team consistent. Respite guests are welcome to visit beforehand so the place is familiar when they arrive. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch if you would like to look round.
