About School House
School House is a care home in Walsall. We provide residential care for adults with a learning disability, autistic adults and people managing a mental health condition, most of them younger adults, and we also offer respite stays. This is somebody's home before it is anything else. People have their own rooms and their own things, they help decide what is bought and cooked, and they choose how much of the day to spend with other people. Where somebody wants more independence, our job is to help them get there, not to keep them comfortable and static. Communication is where most of our effort goes. Not everybody here uses speech, and among those who do, not everybody finds it easy to explain when something is wrong. We learn each person's way of telling us, we pay attention to what behaviour is saying, and we check our assumptions rather than acting on them. Predictability helps enormously. Routines stay steady, changes are explained well in advance, and we watch the things that can quietly make a day unbearable, such as noise, crowding or an unexpected visitor. Respite gives families a proper break and gives the person a short stay with people who already know them. The Care Quality Commission most recently rated us good overall. If you are looking at support for a relative in Walsall, please come and see us and ask whatever you want.
