About CTTM Elmfield Cottage

Elmfield Cottage is a residential care home near Birmingham, supporting adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults, people managing mental health conditions and people living with sight or hearing loss. Most of those living here are younger adults, and respite stays are part of what we do. We are a small household and that is the point of us. Everybody is properly known rather than known in outline, staff notice when somebody is off colour without needing it reported, and the house runs around the people in it instead of the reverse. People choose their own rooms, share properly in the shopping and the meals, and have a hand in how the place runs. Where somebody can do a thing themselves, our job is to make it possible rather than to do it faster on their behalf. Communication comes first rather than last. Where a person communicates differently we establish it properly at the start and everybody uses it consistently, because the rest of our work depends on it. Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We keep asking the people who live here what they would change, and we tell them plainly when something is not possible and why.
