About St Martin's Centre
St Martin's Centre is in Stroud, Gloucestershire, and we are registered for nursing care. We support adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, people with a physical disability, and people who are blind, partially sighted, deaf or hard of hearing, where health needs require a nurse rather than a residential setting. Many of the people here are younger adults, and we take respite admissions too. That combination is not common, and it is usually why families find us. Somebody with a learning disability who also has significant health needs is too often moved between places that can manage one half of the picture but not both. Here the nursing is already in the building, so a person does not have to leave the people they know in order to get the care they need. Doing this well means refusing to let the clinical side take over the person. Somebody who needs a nurse still has views about food, music, clothes and company, and still deserves to be asked rather than told. We explain before we act, we slow down, and we check we have been understood instead of assuming. Support plans are written so the person has a chance of reading them. Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Come and visit and meet the people who live here.
