Overview
Rookery Cottage offers high-quality care and support for six individuals with learning disabilities, with a dedicated team who are always exploring new activities to enrich daily life. The team ensure that choices are available in all aspects of living, encouraging each person to lead an active life and make use of local amenities.
The people we support are supported to engage in activities that match their interests and preferences. Some enjoy visits to museums and theatres, while others prefer a quiet drink in the local pub. Most of the individuals take pleasure in shopping, with supermarkets, a post office, hairdressers, and dining options within walking distance.
The people at Rookery Cottage are actively involved in the running of the home, with our team supporting them to participate in meal preparation.
The cottage itself is furnished to a high standard, creating a warm and welcoming environment. It features spacious shared areas, such as a large lounge/dining room, where many activities take place. The property is surrounded by a well-kept garden offering peaceful spots for relaxation and areas for outdoor games. Each person has a large bedroom, which they can personalise to their taste.
