Providing young people with autistic spectrum disorders with a ‘home from home’ experience in a safe environment, Priory Oliver House School in Chorley is expanding its services with the opening of a respite home close to the school.
The new facility builds on the education and care provision at Oliver House School to offer respite care placements for up to eight children aged 7-19.
The home has been designed to support young people and their families and carers in times of need, providing tailored packages and specifically devised programmes for flexible short-term breaks and respite care packages.
The unit offers spacious and homely accommodation with the opportunity for both privacy and shared living. All bedrooms are large single rooms with en-suite facilities and are adapted to the individual needs of each young person.
Wendy Sparling, the principal at Oliver House School, said: “The focus of the new respite care service is on small group living with a dedicated team of staff providing the necessary care and support for young people with autism, sensory impairments, complex learning requirements and health needs.
“We aim to keep parents and carers informed of all aspects of the young person’s learning and care throughout the stay and to work in close partnership to ensure that both parties get the best possible outcome from the respite care.”
