About Yealand Drive (Adult Care Home)

We at Yealand Drive are proud to offer a welcoming residential care home in Ulverston, providing specialist support for adults with learning disabilities and autism in the heart of Westmorland and Furness. Nestled within the LA postcode area of Ulverston, our home enjoys the peaceful character of this charming market town on the edge of the Lake District. The setting offers residents a calm, community focused environment where familiar surroundings and local connections help create a genuine sense of belonging. Our home has been thoughtfully designed to feel warm and homely, giving those who live with us a place where they can truly feel comfortable and settled. At the heart of what we do is personalised residential care for adults with learning disabilities and autism. We understand that every individual is unique, with their own preferences, routines, and aspirations. Our approach centres on getting to know each person as a whole individual, so that the support we provide reflects who they are and what matters most to them. Whether that means encouraging independence with daily living skills, supporting social interaction, or simply being present during quieter moments, our team is committed to enabling residents to live meaningful, fulfilling lives. We also offer respite care, which can be an invaluable option for families who provide care at home and need reassurance that their loved one will be well looked after during a short stay. Respite gives family carers time to rest, recharge, or attend to other commitments, whilst the individual enjoys a change of environment, new experiences, and the company of our friendly team. For many families, it also offers a gentle way to explore what longer term residential care might look like in the future. Our commitment to quality is reflected in our overall CQC rating of Good, with Good ratings achieved across every one of the five domains inspected: safe, effective, caring, responsive, and well led. This consistent standard demonstrates that families can have confidence in the care their loved one will receive with us, from the safety of the environment to the responsiveness of our team and the leadership that guides our practice every day. Choosing the right home for someone you love is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we understand the weight of that choice. If you are exploring residential or respite care in Ulverston for an adult with a learning disability or autism, we warmly invite you to get in touch with us at Yealand Drive. We would be delighted to answer your questions, share more about our approach, and arrange a visit so you can experience the atmosphere of our home for yourself.
