About The Moors
The Moors is a residential care home in Daventry, supporting older people and younger adults in West Northamptonshire, including people with a learning disability and autistic people. We should deal with the rating first. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We are not going to talk around that. Inspectors found things that were not good enough, we accept the findings rather than argue with them, and we are working through what was identified. Anyone considering the home should ask us directly what was raised and what has changed since, and expect a proper answer instead of reassurance. What we are trying to do here has not altered. People have their own rooms and their own things, a say in the food and the shopping, and support built around what they want their week to contain. For residents with a learning disability that means doing things alongside them rather than for them, and being patient while a skill is genuinely learned. For autistic residents it means predictability, honest information about what happens next, and respecting the things that make an environment tolerable. Communication is where most of our effort goes, because some of the people here do not use speech and almost every serious problem in settings like ours starts with somebody not being listened to. Visit us, more than once if it helps, and judge the house as it is now rather than as a grade describes it.

More about the care at The Moors
Residential Care at The Moors
West Northamptonshire usually pays about £680 to £820 a week, against indicative East Midlands fees of £850 to £1100, and in a house of five the funding route tends to be specific rather than standard. Residential registration means everyday living support without nursing, so meals, personal care, help with medication and the shape of a week are covered while clinical treatment is not. The Moors is registered for older people and younger adults, including people with a learning disability and autistic people. Ask who commissions a place and how reviews are run. Ask also what happens if somebody's health needs grow past residential care.
Older Person Care at The Moors
Five residents is the registered maximum at The Moors, so this is a house rather than an institution in scale. For an older person that means personal care, help with medication and meals happening in a small household, with their own room and their own things and a say in the food and the shopping. The home says support is built around what somebody wants their week to contain. Ask how many staff are on duty at night in a house of five and what they are trained to do. Ask also how a washing and rising routine is agreed and recorded, and who a family contacts out of hours.
Younger Adults at The Moors
Camphill Milton Keynes Communities holds this registration, which covers younger adults alongside older people. In a house of five the mix of ages is a concrete question rather than an abstract one. Ask who else lives there, how close in age they are, and how work, study or getting out into Daventry is supported.
Learning Disability and Autism at The Moors
The December 2020 inspection rated this home requires improvement, and it says it will not talk around that, while the current registration dates only from 8 July 2026. For a learning disability it describes doing things alongside somebody rather than for them, and patience while a skill is genuinely learned. Ask what inspectors raised and what has changed, who commissions the hours, and how predictability is handled for autistic residents.
