Godfrey Care

Godfrey Care provides residential care and supported living for adults who have a learning disability, complex needs and associated challenging behaviour.

Our specialist care team of fully trained staff works with each individual using a person-centred planning approach. As our specialist care homes only have a small number of beds, individuals are able to enjoy comfortable, high quality environments that are typical of any family home. Our aim is for all those under our care to experience a happy, fulfilled life and to develop the highest level of independence. The needs of each individual are our priority, and we offer real opportunities to acquire new skills and build upon existing abilities. Our specialist teams support each individual to progress and develop life skills to work towards moving towards a more independent life. We see our services as a stepping stone to the future. We provide care for people with:

Learning Disabilities
Autistic spectrum disorder and Asperger's
Epilepsy
Challenging Behaviour and/or Complex needs. Our ethos is to empower everyone to have the confidence to take important steps forward in their daily lives. We believe that it is paramount that an individual's needs, wishes, choices, beliefs are always understood and respected. We also recognise each individuals' goals, aspirations, hopes and dreams and help to support them as they work towards achieving them. A fundamental part of the care planning we undertake ensures that each person in our care has a detailed activities-based programme catered to their individual needs within their home and their community. We believe a happy, engaging and proactive approach will help individuals to develop the independent living skills that will enable them to boost their self-esteem, confidence and quality of life; whilst also helping them to progress and hopefully move on to more independent living.

At Godfrey care, our commitment to building futures together involves building confidence to develop new skills and discover new experiences. That approach was epitomised recently by the team at Ash Tree House in Burton-on-Trent, where one of the people we support has been encouraged to try cycling.

With the fantastic support of Abdul and Saka, K decided to give it a go last week - and he rose to the challenge! The smile on K's face said it all when we set off for a spin around the running track at the local athletic club.

It’s been brilliant to see K becoming more engaged in community activities, enjoying an active lifestyle, and discovering what he’s capable of when supported in the right way. Moments like this show the power of patient, person-centred support – well done to the team at Ash Tree House and well done, K!

Celebrating Our Godfrey Care Team Members of the Month!

Every month, we proudly recognise three exceptional colleagues who truly bring our core values to life: Innovative, Inclusive, and Resilient. Their dedication and impact are inspiring, demonstrating the qualities that define the very best of the care profession. We’re delighted to celebrate their achievements.

💡 Innovative – Anthony Ohore, Team Leader, Ash Tree House

Anthony is a shining example of initiative and forward-thinking practice. Known for his proactive mindset and unwavering commitment, Anthony was invited to bring his pragmatic problem-solving and strong understanding of PBS approaches in support of another service facing some challenges. He stepped into this role with enthusiasm and positivity, inspiring confidence across the service team. Anthony, thank you for your leadership and innovative spirit.

🤝 Inclusive – Joy Harold, Night Support Worker, Pine Bank

Joy has built a remarkable connection with a young man she supports during night shifts at Pine Bank. Through patience, empathy, and consistency, she has developed such a strong rapport that his behaviours of concern have notably reduced when he is with her. What’s more, Joy has taken it upon herself — in her own time — to write down the strategies she uses to support him, sharing these with colleagues to help shape a more effective night-time support plan for the whole team. Her passion for enabling positive outcomes and ensuring everyone can deliver the same high-quality support is truly admirable. Thank you, Joy, for the inclusive, thoughtful care you bring to your work.

💪 Resilient – Cara Dury, Support Worker, Waverley House

Cara’s journey at Waverley House has been nothing short of inspiring. Overcoming personal challenges around confidence, she has embraced every opportunity to learn, grow, and strengthen her skills. With her positive attitude, determination, and genuine commitment to the people she supports, Cara is achieving fantastic outcomes and has quickly become a role model within the team. Her growing confidence and steady resilience not only uplift those around her but also contribute to a stronger, more supportive working environment. Cara, thank you for showing what resilience truly looks like.

Congratulations Anthony, Joy, and Cara — three outstanding colleagues who embody the very best of Godfrey Care and our belief in building futures together.

A Huge Congratulations to Our 5-Year Milestone Stars! 🎉

We’re incredibly proud to celebrate five fantastic members of our team who have each reached an amazing milestone — their 5th year with Godfrey Care.

Three of our long-serving colleagues work at our Field House service in Burton-on-Trent: Team Leader Amelia Killion, and Support Workers Michelle Skinner and Brett Brooks. Our fourth, Natalia Bloor, was recently promoted to Registered Manager at our Ashby House service in Burton-on-Trent, having joined us as a Support Worker.

We’re also delighted to recognise Lorna Cord from our Station House service, who has reached her 5-year milestone and was recently presented with her award by DW in recognition of her outstanding commitment and dedication.

Over the past five years, all five colleagues have gone from strength to strength, consistently demonstrating the values, compassion and professionalism that represent the very best of the care sector.

As Godfrey Care continues to grow and develop, seeing the progression and dedication of our colleagues is one of the most rewarding parts of the journey. Thank you to Amelia, Michelle, Brett, Natalia and Lorna for everything you do and for the positive impact you make every day.

Here’s to many more years of building futures together!

Celebrating 6 Months at The Meadows!

This month marks six months since The Meadows in Beeston officially opened its doors, and we are incredibly proud of the progress and positive impact this exceptional residential care service has already made.

The Meadows was purpose-built to provide six self-contained environments for young people with high acuity and complex needs who are preparing to transition into adulthood. Since opening, the service has gone from strength to strength, welcoming individuals into thoughtfully designed, bespoke living spaces that balance independence, safety and support.

With self-contained living, communal areas that promote social inclusion, and multidisciplinary support plans tailored to each individual, The Meadows is demonstrating Godfrey Care’s commitment to delivering high-quality, bespoke services that truly meet complex needs.

While the design and specification of The Meadows have received high praise from commissioners and professionals, the real success of the service lies in the dedication, skill and compassion of the team.

Rachel Platt, Registered Manager at The Meadows, said:

“I am extremely proud of what the team has achieved in such a short space of time. We have been able to nurture an inclusive environment where young people are supported to grow, learn life skills and prepare for the next stage of their lives. Seeing individuals settle in, develop confidence and begin working towards their goals has been incredibly rewarding. Over the past six months, it has been a joy to witness the empowering effect that highly tailored, person-centred support can have.”

A huge thank you to everyone involved in making the first six months such a success – we’re excited for what the future holds at The Meadows.

🎄 Merry Christmas from everyone at Godfrey Care!
Our services have been busy enjoying the festive season — baking mince pies, crafting beautiful decorations, and celebrating together at Christmas parties. Wishing you all a joyful and peaceful Christmas!

23/12/2025

Godfrey Care recently came together for our annual Managers Forum – always an important and enjoyable day in our calendar!

The event was a valuable opportunity to reflect on our achievements in 2025 and align on our strategy and priorities for 2026. Alongside the planning and reflection, we enjoyed lunch together, exchanged Secret Santa gifts, and took part in some friendly competition with team challenges, including Jenga and Marshmallow-and-Spaghetti tower building!

Everyone embraced the festive spirit, with a wide array of seasonal outfits on show – and an elf even taking time out from her Lapland duties to oversee proceedings!

A big thank you to everyone involved in making it such a positive and productive day. We’re excited for what 2026 has in store!

18/12/2025

There has been some decidedly soggy weather across the UK of late, but it hasn’t dampened spirits at Godfrey Care services! Field House and Ash Tree House in Burton-on-Trent ignored the downpours and organised some indoor fun for everyone to enjoy.

At Field House, there were sunny smiles all-round as the support team organised a special party for LOR’s 24th birthday, arranging a buffet and dressing the home with balloons and banners. Always a keen participant in away days and excursions, LOR is very popular at Field House. Friends from other local Godfrey Care services visited to join in the celebrations, enjoying party games and delicious food, including a mouth-watering cake shared by the birthday boy.

Meanwhile at Ash Tree House, the support team created a calm, cosy atmosphere with pampering sessions providing a morning of relaxation. The afternoon was spent getting creative in the kitchen as everyone got involved in developing cooking skills, trying new recipes and enjoying the satisfaction of working together to serve up some delicious dishes.

Rain or shine, there’s always plenty going on at Godfrey Care services!

17/12/2025

We are incredibly proud to recognise the dedication of our teams who have played a vital role in the establishment of two residential care services opened by Godfrey Care over the past 18 months.

Pottery House in Stoke-on-Trent and Waverley House in Alfreton have been purpose-built to an enhanced specification and thoughtfully tailored to meet individual needs. The built environments are impressive, but it is the people who bring these services to life every day through their compassion, professionalism and teamwork.

As a token of our appreciation, the teams at Pottery House and Waverley House received gift hampers in recognition of their ongoing commitment to the people we support and for making these services such an outstanding success.

We also presented some gifts to Lorna Turner, Deputy Manager at our Dorset House service, as a special thank you for providing additional support to our Pine Bank service this month. Your willingness to go above and beyond is truly appreciated and perfectly reflects our commitment to building futures together.

Once again, our teams are demonstrating the power of collaboration and shared values in action.

Congratulations to our Godfrey Care Team Members of the Month!

Every month, we celebrate three colleagues who truly embody our core values: Innovative, Inclusive, and Resilient. Our Team Members of the Month are based on the nominations of their colleagues. This month’s winners have shown remarkable dedication and professionalism and we couldn’t be prouder to recognise them.

💡 Innovative – Aaron Bushell, PBS Clinical Practitioner

Aaron’s compassion, commitment and expertise shone through during a routine visit to Field House, a service where he started his career in care as a Support Worker. When it was explained that one of the people we support was in crisis, Aaron used his knowledge of the individual and the service to demonstrate how a calm, low-stimulus approach could make a positive difference. He was scheduled to visit for one hour but stayed for four, providing insight, hands-on support, and guidance to the team. Thank you, Aaron, for going above and beyond.

🤝 Inclusive – Kudakwashe Museve & Yvonne Bah, Support Workers, Ash Tree House

A huge well done to Kuda and Yvonne, whose patience, encouragement, and unwavering support helped one of the people we support to achieve something extraordinary, remaining comfortably clothed and fully engaged for five hours, when normally only a few minutes is possible. Their teamwork and gentle persistence created a safe, positive environment to enable this breakthrough. This is truly inclusive practice at its best.

💪 Resilient – Ryan Casella, Support Worker, Field House

Ryan has made an incredible impression in just a few short weeks. Always helpful, upbeat, and deeply committed, he brings energy and positivity to life at Field House. His willingness to learn, his initiative, his kindness towards the people he supports and his colleagues, and his team-focused attitude make him an outstanding member of the Field House team. Thank you, Ryan, for your resilience and hard work.

Aaron, Kuda, Yvonne, and Ryan are shining examples of the values that define Godfrey Care. Thank you all for the incredible difference you make in building futures together.
