What services do we offer?
Residential short breaks
The residential service provides overnight short breaks for children with disabilities.
Based on the ground floor of the Light House, the residential facility has 10 bedrooms all with en-suite facilities. It is separated into two units, known as ‘Sun’ and ‘Star’. It is run by a team of skilled and experienced residential child care workers
Sun
Sun is a 6-bedroom unit designed for children with multiple disabilities, complex medical needs and physical impairments. The bedrooms have equipment, aids and adaptations to help meet the needs of children with more physical disabilities. There is a treatment room and a sensory room to provide a stimulating experience, plus a large playroom with patio doors leading to a sensory garden which has an accessible swing and a roundabout for wheelchair users.
Star
Star is 4-bedroom unit designed for children with challenging behaviours. There is also a sensory room to provide a calming experience, and an indoor soft-play room.
The gardens include a play area containing a rubberised track for quad bikes and recreational equipment for children who enjoy more physical activities. Both garden areas are safe and secure and are accessible from the building via separate patio doors.
Ofsted inspect the residential service to make sure it continues to deliver a good service.
We have a fully adapted minibus which is used to take children on outings.
To be eligible for a residential short break, your child will be aged between 0-17 years and have a diagnosed moderate to severe learning disability, or any other condition (for example, a life limiting illness) and a diagnosed moderate to severe learning disability.
