About Flanshaw Lane
Flanshaw Lane is a care home in Wakefield. We provide residential care for adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, people with a physical disability, people with a visual or hearing impairment and people managing a mental health condition, mostly younger adults. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. Supporting people with both a learning disability and a sensory impairment takes particular care. If somebody cannot see or hear well, the ordinary ways of explaining what is about to happen do not work, and the world becomes unpredictable in a way that is frightening rather than merely inconvenient. So we spend real time on communication, using touch, objects, signing or whatever fits the person, and we never assume that a lack of response means a lack of understanding. The rest follows from that. Routines stay steady, changes are prepared for well in advance, and people have a genuine say in the ordinary decisions about shopping, cooking, their own rooms and how they spend their time. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families and social workers considering a placement are welcome to visit, meet the people living here and ask us whatever they need to know.
