What client’s say:
“I like to live here because of the mod-cons. I was stranded at the Hospital. I enjoyed the holiday – we went to a forest place”.
“Life here is not bad at all, much better than at the Hospital. I’m able to listen to my radio when I want and go into town to have a look in the shops. I’m better off in a group home. I enjoyed the holiday, I fed the ducks and enjoyed myself”.
“I can’t go far on my own, I have a job to get around, get on the bus, and stand - staff help me. I enjoyed the holiday, I sat and watched tennis, walked around the grounds and went to cinema”.
“Since I’ve been here I think I have improved, I can go out more, do my own shopping and prepare my meals. I enjoy the opportunity of having holidays and trip to Paris”.
