Registered Care and Support Services Ofsted and CQC in a designated property within Gloucestershire ...

This Project is to create a lifetime home for initially one complex young person (aged 14+), within Gloucestershire. The Provider will manage an identified and specifically adapted property which will be run as a registered Children’s Home (Ofsted and CQC registered) to support this young person whilst under 18. Post age 18, under CQC registration the support will continue for this property to be a lifetime home, dependent on assessed needs.

The building is currently an empty property which was previously a 5 bedded residential home for Adults with Learning Disabilities. The property is based in the Stroud District of Gloucestershire, a 10-minute drive from the market town. The project will transform the property into a home initially for one Young Person with complex needs which include learning disabilities and autism. Over time and following appropriate matching exercises there is potential for a second young person to have a long term placement, this would not include emergency or short term placement.

The key drivers for the project are:
• For the Young Person to be in a regulated Placement with appropriate support in place.
• For the Young Person to have a lifetime home within Gloucestershire.
• For the Young Person to be given stability and consistency in both their home and their care.
• For the Young Person to become integrated into their local community as much as possible.
• For the Young Person to achieve supported independence as they transition into adulthood.

This development will initially focus on providing a young person with a learning disability and autism, a home for life. It will provide the right infrastructure and care to help Gloucestershire meet this young person’s needs now and into the future.
