Service users are strongly encouraged to have as much control as possible over their lives and the running of the home. This is achieved through on-going support from staff with the individual’s best interests at heart.
Opened in 1998, Upper Ford Lodge is a detached property located in Droitwich Spa, Worcestershire, surrounded by 1.5 acres of land. Although for many years the property had eight bedrooms, Upper Ford Lodge now has ten bedrooms and can cater for ten adults diagnosed with autism.
