About Hermitage Way

Here at Hermitage Way in Telford, we provide residential care for a range of people, including older adults, younger adults, and individuals living with a learning disability or autism. We also offer respite care for those who need a short break from their usual arrangements, whether planned in advance or at shorter notice. We are proud to have received a rating of "good" from the Care Quality Commission, which reflects the genuine effort our team puts in each and every day to make sure the people in our care feel safe, respected, and at home. Our focus is on getting to know each person properly. Everyone who comes to live with us, whether for a short stay or the longer term, has their own story, preferences, and ways of doing things. We take time to understand what matters to each individual and try to build care around that rather than fitting people into a routine that suits us. For those living with a learning disability or autism, we recognise how important consistency and familiarity can be. We work hard to create an environment that feels calm and predictable, while still offering meaningful activity and genuine choice. Families and loved ones are always welcome here. We believe good care extends beyond the person receiving it, and we try to keep communication open and honest so that families feel informed and involved. Telford is a community we are very much part of, and we value the relationships we have built locally over time. If you are thinking about care for yourself or someone close to you, we would warmly encourage you to get in touch or come and have a look around. We are happy to talk things through without any pressure, and to help you work out whether Hermitage Way might be the right fit.
