Residential care at Lisieux Trust

Lisieux Trust currently manages three residential services. One of these services supports 9 residents, one supports 12 residents and one supports 8. The services provide 24-hour domestic care for adults with a learning disability and adults on the autism spectrum who need round-the-clock support. Located in the Sutton Coldfield area of Birmingham, the homes are managed and run by experienced and friendly registered managers. Our managers are responsible for ensuring the right support is available for all aspects of residents’ daily needs and wellbeing.

All services are registered with the Care Quality Commission who regularly visit to carry out inspections. Lisieux House and Francis House are rated as ‘Good’ by CQC.

Vesey Road has not yet been inspected by CQC since Lisieux Trust took over running the service in July 2022. Under the previous provider Vesey Road was rated as ‘Inadequate’ by CQC. Lisieux Trust took on the running of this service to improve the lives of the residents who live there and we are working hard to make this happen.

In residential care, the support and accommodation are usually paid for by a local authority Adult Social Services. Each person will have met with a social worker prior to moving in. The social worker will assess the person’s needs and, based on this assessment, an agreement is made between the person, Adult Social Services, and us. The agreement states what kind of support we need to provide for that person. Adult Social Services will then pay an agreed amount to cover the cost of this support.

Lisieux Trust took over Vesey Road from a different company in July 2022. The CQC had given the service a rating of ‘Inadequate’ and had told the previous company they needed to close the home because the standard of care was very poor. Lisieux Trust exists to help people with disabilities; especially those in need; so the decision was made to take on the running of Vesey Road with the aim of improving the lives of the residents who lived there. Lisieux Trust has been working tirelessly since then to make the changes needed to ensure these residents feel safe and happy.
