About 30 Broad Lane
30 Broad Lane is a small residential care home in Reading providing a home for adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults, older people and younger adults. Being small is deliberate. It means the people living here know each other properly and it means we know them properly too. This is somebody's house rather than a unit. People decorate their own rooms, are involved in the shopping and cooking, and decide how they want to spend their time. We support people to go out to work, to college, to clubs and to see family, because the point of a home is that you can leave it and come back to it. Support is worked out for each person and reviewed with them. Communication matters a great deal here and we use whatever works for the individual, whether that is speech, signing, symbols, objects or simply having lived alongside someone long enough to understand what they mean. Getting that right is what allows people to make real decisions rather than have them made for them. Short respite stays are available, which can give a family carer a break or let someone see how they get on here before anything longer is decided. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch if you would like to visit.
