A home, a rhythm, a community
Living here means having a place of your own within a shared household, with familiar staff nearby and person-centred support that adapts to how you want to live.
Each house has its own character and rhythm. All are ordinary domestic homes where people can spend time privately, share company when they choose and take part in the everyday life of the household.
Support is personal rather than one-size-fits-all. Some people want help to build confidence with cooking, shopping, laundry or organising appointments; others already do many of these things independently. The aim is to offer the right level of support while preserving choice, dignity and control.
Familiar staff are present to provide practical help, encouragement and continuity. Over time, daily routines can become opportunities to develop skills, strengthen relationships and feel increasingly at home.
Everyday life
Privacy, choice and ordinary household life sit alongside dependable support from people you know.
You have your own bedroom and your own key. You can choose how to decorate and personalise the room so that it feels like yours. Staff knock and wait to be invited in, and will only enter without your agreement if there is a safety concern.
Staff prepare a main meal each day, with the option to sit and eat together. You can also self-cater, whether that means making something simple or planning and cooking your own meals. Support with menus, shopping, budgeting and preparation is available at the pace that suits you.
Residents and staff share the ordinary life of the home, including shopping, cooking, laundry, cleaning and looking after the garden. How much you take on depends on your abilities, goals and the support you need.
There is no single routine that everyone must follow. Your day can include appointments, household tasks, time in town, seeing people, resting or spending time in the shared rooms. Staff help you plan and keep going without taking over.
Friends and family are welcome to visit, spend time with you privately and, by arrangement, join the household for meals or celebrations. We support people to maintain the relationships that matter to them.
The homes are connected rather than separate. There are plenty of opportunities to spend time with residents and staff from other houses, so you can get to know people across the wider Community as well as those in your own home.
St Antony's Day and St Elias's Day are special occasions when the wider Community comes together, usually with good food, music and time to catch up. Many former residents stay in touch and return for celebrations, maintaining friendships and a connection with the Community after they have moved on.
You will get to know the staff team and home manager well. There are plenty of opportunities to share your views, make suggestions and raise concerns through everyday conversations or privately with someone you trust.
