A message from our site leader
The staff are excellent at the home. The people we support all get on with each other and have settled in well, as it was the first move away from home for two residents.

Comments from our residents and their family and friends
I like my room, with all my teddy bears, they help me feel at home. I enjoy living with the other tenants and the staff really help me.
My child enjoys the support of staff when they go out for activities and she has been doing so well since she moved to Green Leys.
I like it at Green Leys and I am happy living here. It has nice walks nearby and the sports centre is close.
