Cygnet was established in 1988. Since then we have developed a wide range of health and social care services for young people and adults with mental health needs, acquired brain injuries, eating disorders, autism and learning disabilities within the UK.
Broughton House is a 29-bed specialist residential service for adults with severe learning disabilities, autism and behaviours that challenge. We aim to provide a safe, comfortable and effective environment for those in our care, promoting independence and community integration.
On site we have our multi-disciplinary team (MDT) who assist and support us to provide outcome based care and support pathways. The integrated MDT consists of psychiatry, psychology, occupational therapy and speech and language therapy. The team supports the development of daily living skills and reduction in maladaptive behaviours.
Broughton House is divided into five living areas, designed to support individuals within smaller environments. The main building accommodates nine individuals, while both the Coach House and The Flat each provide space for four individuals. Additionally, two separate properties on-site, Sutton House and Sandbeck House, are each arranged for six individuals.
Each placement within Broughton House offers the people we support individualised living spaces, creating an environment that will support them for moving along their care pathway to more independent living. As part of their pathway, we enable people to build their skills to help them achieve the things they want out of life. Set in a beautiful rural location, the service has plenty of outdoor space for individuals to enjoy, including countryside walks that help support those who are anxious in crowded spaces. The individuals we support can gain skills through extended learning on ASDAN courses.
Our staff use least restrictive practice approaches and are trained in specialised safety intervention techniques and sensory integration strategies.
