📝 Summary
People in Action – Barnfield is a strong option for individuals needing specialist residential support in a small, personalised care setting. With its Good CQC rating across all domains, small capacity, and emphasis on individualised care, it’s especially suitable for younger adults or those with disabilities requiring tailored support. Because of the small size and specialist nature, I recommend:

  • Visiting the house and meeting the staff to assess compatibility and approach.
  • Asking about how the home supports the specific needs of your relative (e.g., sensory impairments, learning disability, younger adult).
  • Checking current availability and fee structure, as small-scale homes often have limited vacancies.
