About Coppice House
CQC rating - Good
Coppice House registered for 11 is a large, detached home set in 4.5 acres of beautiful Gloucestershire countryside near to the Forest of Dean and only 5 miles away from Gloucester City Centre. Coppice House provides a long-term home for adults with Autistic Spectrum Disorder, Aspergers Syndrome with associated learning disabilities and challenging behaviours. The home is divided up into two accommodation areas, 7 in main house, and 4 in adjoining bungalow.
A long driveway leads through an orchard to a small car park, set away from the main house. The main house is stone-built and set in safe, peaceful, landscaped grounds. There are seven individual bedrooms on the first floor and on the ground floor is a spacious living room, computer room, sensory room, kitchen, dining room and an office. Next to the main house is a bungalow for four service users. The bungalow has a living/dining room area next to a spacious conservatory. In addition there are two bathrooms and a separate training kitchen.
The home is currently occupied by male service users with ASD who appreciate a minimalist approach to their environment and structure to their day.
The position of the house and bungalow offers service users privacy and safety, whilst still enjoying a place in the local community.
The home has 2 vehicles, which are used for a variety of recreational, educational trips and activities in the community.
Our Philosophy
Each service user receives an individualised Person-Centred Programme of care, as well as a bespoke programme of Day Care activities. We also have our own in-house clinical psychology team who work alongside staff in assessing and devising appropriate interventions to address the emotional, psychological and behavioural needs of our service users.
We enable our service users to live as fulfilling a life as possible in a secure environment. We promote independence, choice and community integration. Our service users are encouraged to develop their personal skills in daily living, social skills, communication, education, decision making and future planning.
The service users have individually tailored plans of care which take a holistic approach to ensure all needs are met. Support and advice is provided whilst the right to dignity and respect is upheld at all times.
We offer when needed support and advice from our in house Psychology and Psychiatry Teams.
