Who we are:

Oakwood House is a supported living community service in the heart of Stoke-on-Trent city. We support adults with learning disabilities and autistic spectrum disorders to transition from mental health hospitals into a community setting. We have capacity for up to eight adults across two levels. All our rooms have en-suite bathroom facilities, a separate bedroom and lounge and access to a fully equipped shared kitchen area.

Our aim is for our tenants to have every opportunity to enjoy the benefits of community living whilst providing a high quality safe and secure environment. This is achieved by providing support that is individually tailored to their needs and that is underpinned by holistic support plans and detailed risk assessments. We understand that improvements can take time and we utilise graded plans to enable small steps to be made towards greater independence. This includes positive risk taking where appropriate.

The staffing team have a great deal of experience in addressing behaviours of concern. We make use of positive behavioural support (PBS) plans to identify underpinning reasons for behaviours and to develop strategies to address them effectively. We work very closely with our community colleagues including learning disability teams, general practitioners, local authorities, commissioners and the local police. This close-knit working supports our tenants to thrive, live independently and to be as happy as they possibly can.
