Support
The staff team at Willow House provide personal care to service users, aged 50 and over, with learning disabilities. They specialise in caring for people with complex needs and physical mobility issues.
Our aim is for service users to remain as independent as possible for as long as possible, building on their daily living skills. Staff support service users who have varying levels of need, including assistance with personal care, managing medication, support to maintain their home, managing their money, accessing health services and much more. Service users are also supported to access day services, leisure activities in the community and attend activities at Willow House.
Facilities
The scheme is made up of 11 self-contained flats with furniture and appliances gifted to all service users. The flats are equipped to meet service users needs as they have a wet room and is wheelchair accessible. In addition to this, there is a welcoming lounge and kitchen/diner which are regularly utilised to play games and host movie night. There is also a nice size garden which proves popular on sunnier days.
Willow House is equipped with the latest technology to alert staff of any issues and give you peace of mind. Support is available 24 hours a day with a sleep in member of staff for emergencies overnight. It can be reassuring to know that someone is there if you fall, feel ill or unsafe.
