About Hawthorn House

Hawthorn House is a residential care home in York. We support adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, including both older people and younger adults, and we offer respite stays for people who need a short break or whose family carer needs one. The house is run around the people who live in it. Everyone has a support plan written with them, in a form they can use, covering how they like to be supported, what they enjoy, what they find difficult and what they want their week to contain. Some of the people here have lived with us a long time and are getting older, which brings its own changes, and we plan for those openly with the person and their family rather than waiting until something forces the issue. People go out into York, keep up college, work, clubs and family contact, and supporting that is the purpose of the place. Where somebody does not use speech, we learn how they do communicate and make sure every member of the team knows. When someone becomes distressed we look for the cause rather than the quickest way to stop it, and any restriction on freedom is agreed properly, recorded and reviewed. The Care Quality Commission rated us good overall at our most recent inspection. Families, advocates and professionals are welcome to visit.
