Overview of service

The support at Conquest House is delivered by dedicated and professional multi-disciplinary team committed to providing quality care focused on the needs of the individual. We believe in a personalised approach and everyone living at Conquest House has their own Person Centred Plan which is reviewed regularly. Our aim is to provide the highest quality support enabling individuals to build on skills, live more independently and reach their goals.

Individual choice is paramount and they are actively encouraged to make informed choices and maintain independence. A key worker is assigned to each resident ensuring a holistic approach to individual care.

We encourage individuals and families to actively participate in the planning of care, which is facilitated through individual/relatives meeting where information is provided. We work closely with local services such as the community learning disability team, community nurses, psychologists, speech therapists, local health centres, dental, chiropody and other health care services.
