Our Houses
A setting conducive to developing positive self-esteem & wellbeing
Independence
Supporting Service users in the development of independent living skills has been central to the ethos of this organisation since it was established over 30 years ago. Independent living skills are more than just the ability to cook, clean, select appropriate clothing for weather conditions or to travel safely in the community.
As my brothers next of kin I am pleased to report continued progress in his stability and social interaction over the past year. He stayed with us again at Christmas for ten days and was at ease with his surroundings even though we had moved house since the previous trip and have a rumbustious four year old to contend with. I can say with certainty that had his condition not been treated so successfully over the last ten or so years at the Community of St Antony and St Elias, we would simply have been unable to offer him the chance to stay with us for any length of time because of the danger he posed to himself, and to a lesser extent to those around him, and can only offer our wholehearted thanks to all those involved in his care, who have achieved so much.
Your Own Space
Many people who come to live in the Community have a long history of institutional care and are often not used to personal space. Privacy is respected by all members of the Community. Everyone has their own room, some with en-suite facilities, and are encouraged and supported in personalising it to make it their own. Self- expression is a part of who you are.
All residents have a key to their own bedroom and access to keys to the main house. All locks have an override system for use in emergency situations or in agreement with Care Plans. Staff only enter a resident’s bedroom at their invitation or as agreed within the service Care Plan.
All houses have a registered manager with overall responsibility to ensure that you are well supported.
