Brief description

New Witheven is a bungalow situated in a quiet rural area. It is the Registered Provider's home, they live on site and it operates like a family unit. A long narrow lane approaches the home approximately 2 miles from the main A39 at Wainhouse Corner, where there is a hamlet with a shop and public house.

The home provides care and accommodation for up to 8 younger adults with a learning disability. At the time of the inspection there were 6 service users living in the home. The accommodation has been improved and upgraded in the past few years to include en-suite rooms and extended communal facilities.

There are far reaching countryside views surrounding the bungalow. The Providers own the surrounding area, which creates opportunities for the service users with a variety of animals. There is wheelchair access.

Day care is provided separately on site, service users have access to these opportunities depending on their needs. These services are not inspected by the Commission for Social Care Inspection. However the inspector visited and was very impressed with the new 'chalet' style facilities that have been provided to replace the previous accommodation.

Service users keep in contact with their families and friends and go home at regular intervals. There is an irregular bus service from the main road into Bude, but generally the service users are dependant on transport from the home if they want to go into town e.g.

This brief description is an overview of the service and may have been updated since the latest inspection report was published.
