Windsor Court

Windsor Court is a purpose built 8 bed spacious residential home supporting adults with a learning and or physical disability. The home is fully wheelchair accessible for people with limited mobility. All personalised bedrooms have a wet room with a shower, toilet and sink for private use. Overhead tracking is also available if required.

All communal areas are of a high quality with modern light décor and furniture which consists of a lounge area with hard floor and soft modern furnishings, kitchen / dining area fitted with a low pull down worktop for accessibility for wheelchair uses. The dining area has tables which are height adjustable for individual need. The sensory room has sensory lights, projector and space to relax listening to music. The home also has a sensory bathroom where people can relax in the jacuzzi bath whilst having sensory lights and music of their choice playing.

The grounds are well kept with a large patio, a gazebo, beautiful flower beds, sensory garden, and grass area to the rear. The home has developed a thriving horticulture project in which plants are grown to consume as part of a healthy diet and also to sell plants, including bedding plants and hanging baskets, which provides meaningful activitity and a small income for those involved.

The grounds also have a car park with a disabled area. We are located in the centre of the community with local shops, supermarkets, churches and community centres. The service is located just a short drive away from Bradford city centre and there is a bus stop just outside of the home with a very regular service.

The service also has its own adapted vehichle which can carry up to 3 wheelchairs and 5 other passengers including the driver. This vehicle is used to take people we support to appointments and activities in the community.

All staff receive a detailed and structured induction, allowing them to undertake not only all mandatory training such as Health & Safety, First Aid, Moving and Handling and Food Hygiene but also to have a considerable amount of time learning about and getting to know each service user who will be accessing the service. Each new member will undertake the Care Certificate and will be enrolled onto the diploma Level 2 health and social care following a successful probationary period. Level 3 awards are available to team leaders, while the Deputy and Registered Manager are both qualified to Level 5 (or equivelant) in Health and Social Care Management. Professional supervision is mandatory for each member of staff. This structured approach enables staff to evaluate their personal progress and identify training and development needs, whilst also being involved in the planning of their own personal training with their supervisor. 

Each person supported is allocated a Keyworker, who is responsible for taking a special interest in the person using the service and their family. The aim of this role is to ensure necessary detailed information is collected so that all the individual’s needs, choices, expectations and aspirations are clearly recorded in a format that can be understood by others.

We also offer a range of activities in house which are offered by our trained team members and also outside agencies. Such as Arts and crafts, Beauty therapy and massage, Mosaic Classes, Music Therapy, Exercise classes, sensory sessions and performance workshops. Other activities such as Hydrotherapy, Cinema and theatre trips, bowling and meals out are available, horse riding are also available. 

Rota’s are planned according to the individual needs of the people being supported and according to agreed funding levels. The rotas are adjusted accordingly with extra staffing provided when required for appointments, hospital stays, activities parties etc.
