We have a strong focus on promoting independence and supporting people to maintain and develop daily living skills. Our approach is centred around helping individuals to live as independently as possible.
Whether it's practicing cooking skills, building confidence with routines, or developing social connections, each stay is designed to support progress in a safe and supportive environment.
What we offer:
- planned short breaks arranged in advance with individuals and their support teams
- a focus on skill-building, independence, and wellbeing
- comfortable, welcoming accommodation with a dedicated team of staff
- regular reviews to ensure that the short break experience continues to meet individual goals
What we don't offer:
- crisis or emergency service
- emergency short breaks or placements at short notice
- longer-term stays or ongoing residential care
We work closely with individuals, families, and professionals to ensure that short breaks are used in the most effective and meaningful way, supporting people to remain as independent as possible in their own communities.
