Living independently 

The Winslow on-site team will work with residents to manage independent living within a community setting, including preparing their own meals, doing their laundry, managing a weekly budget and cleaning their bedrooms.

Skilled and experienced ‘Navigators’ and ‘Mentors’ will help residents to build up a network to support them when they move into the community, including providing links with community providers such as voluntary services, education and recreation or work placements.

Professional support workers will engage residents and help them to achieve their full potential through:

  • Volunteering options
  • Employment opportunities

Residents will register for physical healthcare services, such as GP and dental practices, in the local area.
