About St Anne's Community Services - Sutherland Court

St Anne's Community Services - Sutherland Court is a residential care home based in Calderdale, offering a place where residents can feel genuinely at home in a supportive and caring environment. The team here understands how much it means to families to find somewhere that truly looks after their loved ones, and that dedication runs through everything they do. Calderdale itself is a welcoming part of West Yorkshire, giving residents and their visitors a warm community setting to be part of.

Sutherland Court supports people with learning disabilities and autism, providing accommodation alongside nursing or personal care. The service has safeguarding systems in place and staff understand how to respond if someone is at risk of harm or abuse. Staff are moving away from overly restrictive practices, instead supporting residents to make choices and exercise control over their lives.

Care plans and personalised 'This is me' documents demonstrate a holistic approach that recognises individual strengths and preferences.

Medicines are managed safely, with staff honouring how each person prefers to receive their medication as documented in their care plans. The service maintains adequate staffing levels and staff are undertaking ongoing training to develop their skills in supporting residents' needs.
