About Lanrick Cottage

Lanrick Cottage is a residential care home in Staffordshire, offering accommodation and personal care for people with learning disabilities and autism. Further details on how the service performs can be found in the findings below.

Lanrick Cottage provides accommodation and personal care for four people with learning disabilities and autism, operating across a main building with capacity for three residents and a separate annex for one person. At the time of inspection, all four places were occupied.

The service demonstrated good practice by maintaining separate staffing for the main house and annex, minimizing the risk of COVID-19 transmission between buildings. Plans were in place to support residents who might need to isolate in the event of a COVID-19 outbreak.
