About 26 Brookside Avenue

26 Brookside Avenue is a residential care home in Nottinghamshire, providing personal care support. Details of the most recent CQC findings are set out below.

The service at 26 Brookside Avenue accommodates up to three people requiring personal care support, specializing in care for younger people with learning difficulties and autistic spectrum disorder. At inspection, two people were using the service. The registered manager indicated they do not intend to support three people in future, as the building is too small to accommodate additional residents comfortably.

The service is designed to enable people to live as full a life as possible and achieve the best possible outcomes. The approach reflects principles centered on meaningful living that include control and choice for residents with learning disabilities and autism.
