Residential Services

Residential services for individuals with Learning Disabilities

We currently provide residential support to nine adults within a single service in the Burwell area of Cambridgeshire.

This service has been established since 1991 and has been the focus of our attention since that time.

This residential home caters to individuals with learning disabilities and consists of eight bedrooms for those who require housing and support. Within the property, there is also an independent living flat with one bedroom. We pride ourselves on having a specialised area of expertise that allows us to provide support for those with unique and complex needs without compromising the feeling of home. Our aim is to promote independence and equip individuals with new life skills to help them reach their full potential.

The team  understands that a home is more than just a place to live, so we ensure that everyone is included in all aspects of their new residence. This means that we work together with the residents to plan menus and recruit staff, among other things. We believe that our staff play a crucial role in helping individuals develop and take control of their lives, which is why we have a team of well-trained individuals who have been with us for over ten years.

Before any person moves to the property, we conduct a thorough assessment of their needs to create an individualised plan to help them achieve their desired outcomes. We have a step-down model in place that helps individuals progress towards increased independence, with our focus always on empowering the person we are supporting.

Furthermore, we encourage the people in our care to participate in various social activities within the broader community to ensure that they feel connected to where they live. Our standard of care has been recognised by an Outstanding Inspection report, which highlights how we put individuals at the centre of our approach to outcome-focused and personalised planning.

Our service offers round-the-clock support, including overnight assistance from a designated staff member who is available to help with any needs that may arise. Furthermore, we customise our packages to suit each individual’s requirements, which may include one-to-one staffing. We pride ourselves on our flexibility and adaptability, recognising that people’s needs can shift over time and adjusting our approach to serve their best interests accordingly.

Guyatt House is more than just a care home; it is a beautiful, inviting home that creates a family-like ambiance for all people. The environment is crafted by everyone who lives and works within it, fostering a sense of warmth and welcome that makes it a joy to be a part of.

This service is currently at full occupancy and we would be unable to provide you with any support under a residential contract. Have you considered, however, supported living?
