Who are Orchard End?
Orchard End was established in 1993 to provide high quality residential care for Adults with Learning Disabilities in the Gloucester area.
Starting with the original Orchard End home - located in the rural village of Minsterworth, near Gloucester - the company saw demand for its services grow and, over the years carefully selected and added more homes, whilst still retaining the essence of what made Orchard End so good in the first place.
The group now consists of seven residential care homes and one supported living home (55 beds), for service users with a variety of learning disabilities / mental health disorders with associated challenging behaviours / complex needs. Three of the residential homes and the supported living home are located in the beautiful, peaceful Gloucestershire countryside, the other two residential homes are just a mile from the Gloucester city centre.
Our other home, Beechcroft in Cheltenham supports four adults with learning disabilities and complex needs.
Choice Ltd purchased Orchard End in February 2004 and The Truecare Group in Hampshire in June 2004 which have collectively become The Choice Care Group.
What does Orchard End offer?
Orchard End provides service users with a safe and comfortable environment in which to lead an active and fulfilling lifestyle, according to their needs and wishes. Each home is staffed with a team who have the knowledge and experience to enable and encourage the service users to lead as independent a lifestyle as possible, whilst offering the support and reassurance along the way.
Our in-house psychology and psychiatric services aid us to support the complex behavioural and emotional needs of service users, ensuring a consistent approach to their individual needs. We also work closely with a wide range of professionals and therapeutic practitioners in order to meet the holistic needs of all our service users.
The on-site and off-site day care activity plans are tailored for each individual service user according to their personal likes and dislikes and reflect the diverse range of activities available to service users.
