Birches has six en-suite bedrooms alongside numerous communal spaces including two lounges, a dining room, sensory room, IT suite and a large kitchen. Externally there are two gardens, one is a large garden with a swing and vegetable patch, the other is a quiet sensory garden.
The home is located near to the bustling town and city centres of Newark, Lincoln, Grantham and Nottingham, providing easy reach to local amenities, including parks, pubs, restaurants and leisure facilities.
As part of our care pathway, we enable the people we support to build upon their skills to achieve further independence, self-advocacy and confidence, leading to a better quality of life.
The team supports each individual to create person-centred activity plans and develop daily living skills, both inside the home and out in the community.
The integrated Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) consists of occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, psychology and psychiatry. Our staff use least restrictive practice approaches and are trained in specialised intervention techniques and sensory integration strategies.
We understand that the relationships the people we support have with their family and friends are very important and integral to their wellbeing. Therefore, we ensure that we enable each individual to stay in touch with loved ones and can facilitate home visits.
