Our homes

Currently there are four homes, each of which
 is a substantial family house with grounds,
carefully chosen to give residents a comfortable
home in a pleasant environment accessible to
public services and social amenities.

Each house has a high standard of decoration and good quality furnishings. The bedrooms are single rooms giving each resident a place of their own with their own identity.  Residents are encouraged to bring their own furniture and possessions to make their new home as comfortable as possible.

 Contact with family members is regarded as extremely important and parents are encouraged to see their child’s departure from the family home as a positive step.  Households have staff coverage at all times and consciously aim to create a warm, friendly and lively atmosphere in which the residents feel involved and flourish.

 Differing levels of care ensure the correct support for the individual resident and although the homes operate independently - there are many opportunities for friendships to develop amongst the 52 residents of the homes.

Each resident’s progress is reviewed regularly by staff and discussed with the individual.  The contribution of each individual is valued; all are encouraged to take an active role in the running of the house and views are aired at resident’s meetings.  Everyone, with staff support when necessary , shares domestic chores.

 Each property meets the requirements of the Commission for Quality Care, the Fire Officer, Health and Safety and Environmental Health standards.
