About Wantage Road
CQC rating - Good
Wantage Road is a large semi-detached house next door to Hazeldene and provides residential care to four male adults, with mild to moderate learning disabilities and who may have associated emotional difficulties but have a greater level of independence skills.
The home has four single bedrooms one fully en suite, a communal bathroom, lounge area, dining room, kitchen and a utility room, which leads out into their own separate garden.
Although Wantage Road is next door to, and is registered with Hazeldene, it is a separate home, offering individuals the opportunity to progress on to more independent living.
We offer when needed support and advice from our in house Psychology and Psychiatry Teams.
Our Philosophy
We offer a valued lifestyle, holistic approach to the care and support offered to individuals in the home. We promote self-help and community integration by encouraging independence and personal achievement, whilst at the same time preserving and upholding individual self-determination, privacy and dignity. All service users are actively involved in decisions about their home life through general house meetings, and all personal choices and decision making regarding the individual is positively encouraged.
Our main aim is to enable people to live as fulfilling a life as possible in a homely community environment. Individuals are supported to carry out the majority of everyday tasks as independently as possible, for example making their own dinners from their planned menus, shopping, all general household responsibilities, learning budgeting skills, etc. The individuals within the home also attend various community-based leisure activities as a group of friends and they are encouraged to develop positive and supportive friendships with their housemates.
People are encouraged to attend external sessions including both educational and work placements. GNVQ courses and ASDAN courses are promoted positively, enabling people to gain qualifications and new skills.
To provide this service we take a holistic, value based approach to ensure needs are met, encouraging independence and personal achievement.
