“In working with Devon Lodge, from the beginning I found them constructive and responsive to the situation, the team worked with me collaboratively and communication was excellent.
The transition process was thorough and the Devon Lodge team supported the individual to settle into a completely new environment with minimal disruption.
Since his residency at Devon Lodge there have been really positive outcomes for this individual and he has thrived.”Social worker
