About 24 Windermere
Located in Liden, Swindon, this small residential home provides care for two people with learning disabilities. Run by Milestones Trust, it offers a home-based environment rather than a larger institutional setting, which can support more personalised care arrangements. The home is situated in a residential area of Swindon in the South West, with local amenities and transport links accessible from the property.
The most recent CQC inspection in January 2020 rated the home as Good. As a two-bed service, the home's small scale means staff can focus closely on individual residents' needs, routines, and preferences. This type of setting may suit individuals who benefit from quieter, more intimate care arrangements.
