Overview
Bridge House is a beautiful residential service that provides support for 11 people with learning disabilities, epilepsy, mental health needs and challenging behaviour.
Our home comprises an entrance hall, cellar, activity room, utility room, a large communal kitchen, dining room and lounge. The garden is a good size with outdoor seating areas. The people we support like here to sit and feed our chickens, who roam around freely and keep everyone entertained.
Bridge House is a calm, yet stimulating environment where the people we support enjoy reiki and massage sessions, music, football, table tennis, and in-house arts and crafts. We have on-site vehicles that make accessing the community easy - whether that's visiting the local gym, going swimming, cinema trips or a walk in the local parks.
