Orchard View

Learning Disabilities Service

Orchard is a residential home for people living with a learning disability. The home provides an environment in which individuals are able to hone their skill set, enhance independence and well-being as well as provide them with the ability to step down to the final part of their chosen care pathway into community living.

Orchard supports:

  • Males or females aged 18 yrs + who have a diagnosis of a learning disability.
  • Support underlying challenging behaviours.
  • Prior to the initial 12 week assessment period a ‘compatibility’ assessment is carried out to make sure that residents can be supported to live well together.

Philosophically, we believe in understanding the needs of the individual through robust assessment in order to provide person centred support to enable individuals to lead fulfilling lives as part of their local community.

We do this through:

  • Psychologically informed environments that encourage staff to reflect on practice and how to support the individual.
  • Person centred plans to develop positive behaviour support, enabling individuals to maintain and develop skills leading to greater independence.
  • Providing services that represent good value for money by demonstrating measurable, effective outcomes and progression.
  • Ensuring our colleagues have opportunities for tailored training and development to meet individual needs.
  • Ensuring that compliance and audit systems support service delivery and constantly drive improvement and embed quality in everything we do.
  • We work with a wide range of stakeholders to meet the needs of the individuals needs.
  • Through the support of a motivated and experienced staff team, individuals are encouraged to develop their social and adaptive skills to maintain and gain further independence and offer opportunities to enhance the person’s quality of life.
    Planned activities, both in the community and in- house, promote choice, decision making and social interaction. These may include quiz nights, pamper evenings, film nights and arts and crafts.
    Residents also have access to the ‘Highfield Hub’ which is the active support centre. Here residents can engage in social and recreational activities with other residents as well as more formal based teaching in qualifications to facilitate learning and education. These are based on active support models in conjunction with the National Open College Network (NOCN) to support resident’s to achieve formal qualifications which they can use in the community and develop through college or further education.
    By enabling staff to understand the function of risk behaviours this enables plans to be implemented to safely manage potential risks and to provide the least restrictive support in an inclusive and empowering way.
