At this house, we are all unique people and our challenges include learning issues, autism, acquired brain injuries and epilepsy. Some are more obvious, such as physical conditions like cerebral palsy and partial hemiplegia for those of us who use wheelchairs. Some are less obvious as we have emotional challenges and mental health issues as well.
We all have our own individual interests. These include playing or watching sports; special interests in electronics, temporary traffic lights. A few of us have voluntary work which is important as we can contribute like anybody else. We aspire to live more independent lives, learn new skills and maintain the ones we have. We look to make new friendships and explore options for relationships. We venture out and about using public transport, walking or, for some of us, using our own mobility vehicles. Sometimes, if we plan to venture further, we will use one of the company vehicles. We are a fun loving and humorous bunch with varied personalities. We can be competitive, engaging, inquisitive and full of energy.
Our home is a three story old building that has been converted into seven flats. Some of our flats have their own kitchens. Our building also has a ramp for accessibility for those that may need it and parking for our mobility vehicles. We have an enclosed rear garden with patio space and some lawn space. This would be great space for creating a veg patch and in the summer it’s great for BBQ’s and having outdoor fun for birthdays or other occasions.
