Hannacott
​
Hannacott is a 6 bedded residential home for adults with profound and multiple learning disabilities. All of the people we support have their own room with an en-suite wet room. There is a shared lounge and dining area, and all of our food is home cooked and healthy. Outside we have a large, wheelchair accessible, garden.
​
Each of the people we supports days are varied and full and they contribute to the running of the home to the best of their abilities. There are numerous in-house activities including; music therapy, massage, exercise sessions, film nights, baking, arts and crafts and indoor games.
We also make full use of the community with visits to the local pub for lunch, shopping trips into town, swimming, 10 pin bowling and days out. The people we support have been on holidays, both in England and abroad, and live full and active lives.
​
Our stable and well-trained staff team means that we know all of the people we support really well and are able to maximise their strengths and independence. Our local GP visits every month and each individual attends the dentist on a regular basis. Eye tests are carried out yearly by a local optician.
​
We are one big family, and respect for each other is a key principle of who we are. Promoting dignity and maximising strengths is at the centre of everything we do.
Meet the Manager
I have worked in the care sector for 29 years. I worked with older people with Dementia for 14 years and then came to Hannacott when it opened in July 2009, where I started off as a support worker, then a senior support worker, and then a Home leader/Deputy Manager. Now, I am the Registered Manager. I am passionate about my role, and the people we support that live at Hannacott and with a fantastic team here. I want to enable the people we support to live their best lives and make them the centre of everything we do.
