Supporting You

The people we support at Birchwood Bungalow have opportunities to participate in a variety of activities, both in-house and in the local community. These include art and music therapies, aromatherapy, going to the cinema and restaurants, shopping, visits to parks, holidays, and movie nights.

Each month we host house meetings where everyone is supported to discuss different subjects that are important to them. Everyone is supported to make choices independently, with assistance appropriate to their needs. We take the time to understand each person’s communication style, choices, interests, cultural background, and support needs.

We support individuals to have regular contact with their family and friends, and to develop new friendships within the home and out in the community.

Facilities

The ground floor has a spacious kitchen-diner, a quiet room, a cosy lounge, two specially adapted bathrooms, and six private bedrooms. Upstairs, there is another bedroom and bathroom. The home also has a large secure garden, which is surrounded by woodland that can be accessed via a small lane leading to various footpaths.
