About Cheshire House
We are Cheshire House, a residential care home in Sale supporting adults with a learning disability and autistic adults. Our most recent CQC overall rating is outstanding. We are pleased about that, although the thing we would rather be measured on is whether the people living here are getting the lives they actually want. The home works rather like a shared household. People have their own rooms arranged the way they want them, the rest of the house belongs to everybody, and decisions about how things run are made with the people living here rather than for them. Meals get planned together and cooked together where people want to be involved. Support is built around the life each person wants. For some that means a full week of college, work or activities out in the community. For others it means a settled rhythm at home with familiar company. Where somebody wants to take on more for themselves, whether that is cooking, handling money or travelling independently, we work at it at their pace and we do not assume a ceiling on anybody. Communication is the foundation of this work. We learn how each person expresses what they want and make sure every member of staff understands it. We offer respite stays as well as permanent places. Please contact us if you would like to visit.
