Introducing Spring Meadow (formerly Stourbridge House)
We’ve moved into a new, purpose‑built setting and are beginning a new chapter in short breaks as Spring Meadow. The change marks a natural next step: more space, modern facilities with the same trusted team, all focused on creating a safe, supportive short breaks environment for young adults that builds independence and confidence.
While our name and location have changed, what hasn’t changed is our commitment to the families and young people – our purpose remains the same: providing high‑quality short breaks and support that help families build resilience and give young people space to grow. Everything below reflects the same service, delivered from our new home at Spring Meadow.
From Stourbridge House to Spring Meadow – Same commitment, better space!
Spring Meadow sits within Progress’ range of preventative services. The service is focused on supporting families to build resilience and take a break from day-to-day caring responsibilities, while enabling young people to enjoy a break away from the family home.
The service has been purpose built to provide specialist accommodation for young adults with a range of disabilities and additional needs as above. Young adults accommodated at the home may also present with sensory impairment, physical disabilities, sexualised behaviours or complex health care needs.
As we offer care for adults with a diverse range of needs, we undergo a careful matching process. This means that when people stay, they are with other people with similar needs and abilities. This keeps everyone safe and maximises the opportunities to build friendships and relationships.
We aim to support people in all aspects of their care; working towards agreed targets, which focus people’s personal development on areas which present barriers.
A lot of emphasis is put on gaining independence and enjoying life to the maximum, with activities planned around their individual needs. As part of our commitment to providing high-quality services, we are continually striving to help young people achieve their goals and enjoy their lives.
Spring Meadow delivers short breaks, transitions from children’s services, outreach to home and community, emergency respite from family homes, preparation/training for independence, assessment beds, intermediate care to step-down from hospital.
All bedrooms are suitable for wheelchair users, with two rooms fitted with integrated ceiling track hoists. The service is equipped with the latest technology, enabling remote monitoring of young people. This reduces the need to conduct physical checks; giving the individuals a better night sleep and enabling more accurate monitoring of medical conditions.
Registered Manager Amanda Pugh has 11 years’ experience within the care sector in various settings, i.e. domiciliary care, residential for adults with learning and physical disabilities. Within this period, Amanda has had five years of care sector managerial experience.
