About our service
Our facilities and environment

All of our flats are comfortable, welcoming and can be personalised to individual tastes, and each bedroom has its own bathroom facility.
All flats have a washing machine, fridge and cooker provided by the landlord, but are otherwise unfurnished.
Parking
There is free long-stay, on-road parking outside the property.
Our approach to support
Everybody who lives at Wellington Road has their own person-centred support plan, which is co-produced with input from the individual, their family members, and professionals. We focus on identifying strengths and aspirations of our tenants and support them with this by developing outcome forecast plans.
We aim to enable each tenant to make their own choices about the support they receive. This may include support in a number of areas, such as upkeep of personal care, managing medication, food preparation and cooking, cleaning and laundry, managing finances including budgeting and debt management, how to maintain a tenancy, holding down relationships with family and friends, support with a healthy diet and exercise, and booking and attending health appointments.
In addition, our team receive specialist staff training, bespoke to the needs of each individual we support. This includes epilepsy awareness training.
Activities
Tenants at Wellington Road are supported to pursue their own interests and hobbies, both in and outside the home, and are encouraged to take part in activities which are meaningful and fulfilling to them.
We focus on supporting tenants to grow their independence. For some people, this may mean developing their daily living skills within their home. For others, this could be accessing work or educational opportunities in the local community.
Community and leisure activities can include:
- Attending social clubs
- Going to the cinema, the gym, bowling or swimming
- Visiting the local animal centre
- Making use of nearby sensory centres
Pathways
Through our network of healthcare, residential and supported living facilities, we provide unique care pathways which enable the people we support to progress towards greater independence. Every individual we support is provided with a bespoke pathway plan, tailored according to their individual needs. We aim to ensure that each person is supported to live a fulfilling and active life in the community.
