Overall Experience5.0 out of 5
When our son was due to leave educational residential care, we had to undertake our own research and evaluation to find him a suitable adult placement.
We identified three facilities that we wanted to visit. We discounted the first two for not having the right ‘feel’, and then we walked into Number
One. Instantly it felt like the home from home that we were looking for. The staff really care about the residents, you can tell it’s a vocation for them rather than a job. Each resident has their own key worker so there is continuity all the time. The extra curricular activities that they plan include things such as football, gym, swimming, dance, disco, and walking. They have access to various art and craft courses at a local college and they arrange holidays a couple of times of year to CentreParcs and Blackpool. Our son who is profoundly deaf has now been at Number One for 14 years and he could not be happier. We could not have found him a better place to satisfy his every need

My son has been a resident for more than 20 years. He is profoundly deaf, has no speech, has severe learning difficulties and autism. Number One (HouseMartins) is a fantastic care home where the dignity of the residents is sacrosanct. They have been fantastic not only in caring for my son but also despite
his autism and other disabilities, have helped and encouraged him to become a happy, loving man who is living a full and enjoyable life - in fact helping him be the best he can be.
The management and staff are wonderful making this a top class care home.

A really excellent facility with exceptional, attentive and caring staff. Brilliantly run and administered. We have had contact with 'Number One' for over 20 years and have always found this to be the case. We have no hesitation in giving a top review, it is well deserved. Residents are treated
with dignity at all times. They all have a safe degree of independent living within their abilities. All staff communicate well in British Sign Language and at all times assist in the further education of residents in the use of British Sign Language.

Inspection ratings
We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:
Outstanding - the service is performing exceptionally well.
Good - the service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
Requires improvement - the service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
Inadequate - the service is performing badly and we've taken enforcement action against the provider of the service.
No rating/under appeal/rating suspended - there are some services which we can't rate, while some might be under appeal from the provider. Suspended ratings are being reviewed by us and will be published soon.
Ticks and crosses
We don't rate every type of service. For services we haven't rated we use ticks and crosses to show whether we've asked them to take further action or taken enforcement action against them.
There's no need for the service to take further action. If this service has not had a CQC inspection since it registered with us, our judgement may be based on our assessment of declarations and evidence supplied by the service.
The service must make improvements.
At least one standard in this area was not being met when we inspected the service and we have taken enforcement action.
