About this location
Dragons Parade is a supported living service, providing specialist support for five people who are autistic or have a learning disability, who may have other associated needs.
The home is located in Harrogate, just east of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The property, which forms part of Priory Supported Living North Yorkshire, falls within the North Yorkshire local authority area and is managed by Inclusion housing provider. Dragons Parade is situated just off a main road and is central to a number of amenities.
At Dragons Parade we are committed to reflecting the guidance of The Reach Standards in everything we do. This means we work with our tenants to ensure they receive the right support to help them achieve their goals and reach their full potential.
Our specialist support enables people to access the community as much as possible, to take part in meaningful activities and to reduce the risk of moving back into a hospital setting. We can also support people who have mental health needs or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
