Residential and Support Services from Deafway
Our specialist residential services are based in Preston, Lancashire and we can accept referrals (depending on you needs) from all over the UK.
We have a specialist residential service, which focus on the needs of Deaf people with a range of additional needs who cannot currently live fully independently.

Arthur Dimmock, Clive Mason, Jeff McWhinney and Stephen Bannister Houses provide long term, short term and respite residential care for D/deaf adults who have mental health challenges, learning disabilities, sight loss, personality disorders and a range of other additional needs.

We can provide 1:1 staffing levels for D/deaf adults who require a high level of staff support and who may present with behaviours that challenge.

The above services are based in Preston, approximately two miles away from the City Centre and with easy access to all the facilities and services which the city provides. Our site is bordered by large areas of native woodland, on the boarder of the Ribble valley and yet is within easy access of major motorway and rail networks

The accommodation comprises four separate, modern and individually designed self contained houses with an emphasis on homely comfort. Each house has its own facilities which include laundry rooms, kitchens and lounges which encourage and promote independent living.

We have a mix of D/deaf and hearing staff who are dedicated, highly trained, and either fluent in British Sign Language or working rapidly towards fluency. No new member of staff begins working at Deafway without having completed an introduction to BSL and a Deaf Awareness Course. This is followed by a BSL Level 1 course and BSL Level 2 course part of their training package. When needed by particular residents, our staff also use a range of additional manual and visual communication methods.

We are proud of the fact that we maintain a ‘BSL Policy’ which ensures that all Deafway staff (D/deaf or hearing) use BSL whenever there is a Deaf person anywhere in sight – thus avoiding ‘spoken word’.
