About Gracewells Care
Gracewells Care work with young people giving opportunities for a normal life and a route to a brighter future.
Formed in 2018 we are a young, energetic company but with a wealth of experience. Our team have 15 years in a variety of roles in residential children’s homes and associated care services.
New team members, therapists and support services are all trained and qualified to provide the best care to each individual.
Our goal is to meet an individual’s social and emotional needs improving their ability to cope with life and give them the skills to be independent, productive members of society.
We can bring the stability of a traditional care provider with the forward-thinking of the most modern of therapeutic solutions.
This experience, combined with our still youthful exuberance makes us the ideal partner for short- and long-term placements.
Our Vision for High Quality Children's Residential Care
We focus on guiding young people to develop their social, emotional, and functional skills. Using a therapeutic model we promote a positive outlook and try to find some good in any situation. We lead young people to raise themselves with achievable challenges.
Gracewells Care provides a consistent, caring environment in which young people will feel both safe and secure. Time spent with us will enhance their sense of self-worth and provide the opportunity to develop respect for themselves and others.
Our teams understand the needs of young people and provide a stable base to allow them to reach their full potential.
Referrals
We work with families, carers and the young person to identify their most suitable placement. Our Residential Care will provide the best level of support to meet the needs of the young person.
Our placement process includes strict rules for the referral. So we need as much relevant information as possible. This may involve extra details and contact numbers. Although we ask more questions the extra information improves the placement quality, and ensures a professional and timely response to your enquiry.
Placements
Our placements team is highly selective. The teams involved in both referral and placement are deliberately small. Smaller teams enable good working relationships to develop. This is beneficial for individuals making important choices about a young person's wellbeing.
We never offer a placement unless confident we can provide the right care. We always consider both our capabilities and the specific needs of the young person.
Therapy
Our homes are run according to therapeutic principles with solutions that are adapted to the needs of each young person in our care.
We encourage young people to develop coping strategies, think about behaviour and manage emotions. We promote a positive approach to life, and the opportunities to gain the skills for independence.
Activities
Young people in our care have access to a wide range of leisure and social activities.
Activity programmes include cycling, mountain biking and fell walking together with slower-paced activities such as beachcombing and fishing.
Visiting places of educational interest such as Leeds Armouries, Liverpool Museum and Vindolanda Roman Fort.
