About Falcon House (ECHO)
Falcon House provides nursing care in Stafford for adults whose needs bring qualified nursing together with support for a learning disability, autism or a physical disability. Older people live here alongside younger adults, and we offer respite stays. People often come to us because other settings could meet part of what they needed but not all of it. A learning disability alongside a long term health condition, or nursing needs that a supported living arrangement could not cover. Dividing that between separate teams tends to serve nobody well. Here, registered nurses are on duty at every hour and the wider staff group is experienced in supporting autistic adults and people with learning disabilities, so one team holds the whole picture. We take our time over new arrivals. Visits before any decision, honest information in both directions, and a proper handover from the people who know somebody best. Moves made in a hurry can undo years of patient progress. After that, the aim is an ordinary life with the right support attached. Going out, keeping up with family and interests, and making decisions that are genuinely the person's own wherever that is possible. We do not currently hold an overall rating from the Care Quality Commission. If you are considering a placement, ring us and come and see the place. We will tell you honestly whether we are the right fit.
