About St James Road
St James Road is a care home in Wigan. We provide residential care for adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, mostly younger adults, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. We are registered with the Care Quality Commission and have not yet been given an overall rating. We would rather say that plainly than leave it unmentioned, and we would encourage families and social workers to visit and judge us on what they find. What we are building is a house where the people living here have genuine say. The shopping, the cooking, how rooms look, where people go and who comes to see them are decisions that belong to the residents, not to a staff meeting. Some go out to work or college, some use local groups, and some prefer a quieter week with a few things they enjoy properly. Most of our effort goes into communication and predictability. Where somebody does not use speech, we learn the way they tell us things, and routines stay steady with changes explained well in advance. Please come and visit if you are considering a placement.
