Priory 22 Wingfield Road

We assist our residents in participating in family events and visiting their family homes. We work with both the resident and their relatives to address any potential risks and provide the necessary support. In some cases, the resident's key worker may accompany them during these visits to ensure a smooth experience.

Family and friends are welcome to visit. Visits can include home visits, meeting up in the community, regular phone calls and any special events at the home. We do ask that families let staff or their loved one know if they are planning a visit, in case the resident is out doing activities in the community.

Yes, we strive to keep the loved ones of our residents involved in their care and progress. Key workers hold monthly meetings with the people we support and we can share the details of these with families. We can also arrange more regular catch-ups, either in person or via telephone.

Everyone who stays with us is supported to call their loved ones any time. Family and friends are also able to call as often as they like. We have a phone line and a number of cordless phones around the home. We can support our residents to get their own mobile phone, where appropriate.

Bedrooms can be personalised according to each resident’s needs, wishes and tastes. People can bring their own furniture, or this can be supplied by the home.

The home has a key pad system to enter and leave the front and back door. People who live here are able to use the keypads independently.

People who live at 22 Wingfield Road are given a weekly food budget and are supported to plan and prepare their own meals. All of our staff have completed nutrition training and encourage people to think about healthy eating and menu planning.

Everyone who lives at the home is supported to complete their own laundry in our shared laundry area.

Our residents are encouraged and supported to look after their own space and environment on a regular basis. Staff support with deep cleans and cleaning the communal areas.

We ask that residents do not bring solvent-based products and lighters into the home, as the risks cannot be appropriately managed.

People who live at 22 Wingfield Road are supported and encouraged to find activities that they wish to participate in. These may include social activities, attending a gym or going swimming. Some have work experience placements. Our residents also regularly enjoy a night out for karaoke or quiz nights.

We use the PROACT-SCIPr-UK® framework, which means we focus on proactive strategies, rather than physical intervention. We recognise that people with a learning disability have the same aspirations and expectations as everyone else and should be empowered to achieve these. Some residents have sensory requirements to reduce anxieties, over-stimulation or to assist with emotional regulation and can incorporate these needs in to their support plans.

Yes, we encourage families and extended support providers to be involved with the care plans. We use a variety of communication tools to work collaboratively with the person we care for to co-produce the plans so they are tailored to their needs. We value this important input from others, where appropriate.

There is a driveway at the front of the house where visitors can park.

We have a designated area in the back garden, with a shelter. We do not permit smoking indoors.

Our fees can vary and are based on an assessment of each individual's needs. Many people are eligible for financial help towards the cost of support, and this funding can be accessed by contacting your local authority. Once funding has been agreed, we will work with your local care team to put together a bespoke package of care. Please note, referrals for NHS or local authority funded services must come from a referring organisation.
