Supporting You
Drakes Place is a warm, nurturing environment for people with a learning disability and associated complex needs.
We promote activities that raise individuals’ presence in the community, creating a sense of belonging. We have our own accessibility vehicles for easy access to the local community, and beyond. We’re also a short distance from a bus stop.
The people we support are the heart of our home and are involved in making decisions about how their home is run. We hold regular resident meetings and the people we support also get involved with recruiting new members of their support team.
As a household, we engage in a wide programme of activities, including sailing, horse riding, Reiki massage, music and art therapy, bowling, gardening, and looking after our pets.
