About Broom Lodge
Broom Lodge supports adults with learning disabilities and associated complex needs through residential care and 24-hour support. The Ferryhill home accommodates between six and eight people in a spacious modern house, with support for autism, epilepsy, communication difficulties, physical disabilities and mental health needs.
Care planning and risk assessment reflect individual needs and preferences, while positive risk-taking is used to develop independence and participation in the local community. Residents can take part in swimming, bowling and cinema trips, alongside cookery, arts and crafts, education and employment training. Referrals are accepted from local authorities, the NHS, social workers, care managers and families. Positive risk-taking in care planning helps support everyday choices while addressing individual needs and changing life challenges.
