The Red House

Our Support

At The Red House we provide residential support for six adults with Learning Disabilities, challenging needs and Autism. We can also support people who may have Mental Health needs. We offer a fun, caring, friendly home environment, where we are determined to ensure that the people we support are safe, comfortable and content. We are passionate about making each day enjoyable and believe everyday should be filled with smiles and laughter.

We empower people to live their lives in the way they want to and we support them to make this happen. At the heart of everything we do are the people we support. Our staff team work with passion and energy to make things happen and go above and beyond to overcome any challenges.

Independence Skills Building

It is important to us to respect individual’s needs, interests, views, hobbies and lifestyle. Everyone is supported to access a wide range of activities both at home and in the local community. We work with people to support them to build their futures and achieve their aspirations. We use a variety of communication tools, to help us understand each person’s likes, interests, goals and aspirations. These could include attending workshops of interest, having a job, wanting to cook or just having the confidence to go to the shops. Staff support people towards achieving their goals.

Our Clinical Support Team

Our experienced and well trained staff are supported by our Acquired Brain Injury Advisor, Autism Advisor, Clinical Support Nurses and Behavioural Advisors. Their role is to work collaboratively with staff to develop and review support plans and introduce proactive strategies. Working alongside our staff team, they support people at times of extreme challenge or crisis. Our staff can also access Consultancy Psychiatry, Psychology, Occupational Therapy and SALT support as required.

All therapeutic input is integrated into daily strategies or functional measured goals in line with the individual’s aspirations. Progress for individuals on a rehabilitation pathway is monitored through recognised outcome measures and reviewed regularly by the multi-disciplinary team.

Person Centred Plannings

We provide positive, flexible and encouraging support for everyone. Our person-centred approach, enables people to achieve their goals and aspirations in life. Everyone is encouraged to have belief in reaching their full potential within a safe, nurturing and positive environment. Our staff support each person to create a person-centred plan that tells us how they want to live their life now and in the future. Through a range of communication tools, we ensure that each person is closely involved in the development of their own plan.

Accommodation

The Red House has five en-suite bedrooms and one flat with two bedrooms. The flat has its own kitchen and breakfast bar and a separate living space. The flat provides a great opportunity for trialled independence with full staff support if required. People that live in the main house may want to live in this flat to practice independent skills before moving on to live in their own home with their own tenancy. Elsewhere there is plenty of communal space to encourage socialising and interaction, with an open access kitchen and a laundry room that enables people we support to gain confidence and build on their life skills. The service also has a dining room, lounge and spacious garden.
