My son is very well supported and all of his needs are met.” – Parent
Residential care at Lisieux Trust
Lisieux Trust currently manages two residential services. One of these services supports 9 residents and the other supports 12. 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.
Both services are registered with the Care Quality Commission who regularly visit to carry out inspections. Both services are rated as ‘Good’ by CQC.

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.
