Overview of Service

Rose Cottage supports 7 people who have learning disabilities, Epilepsy, challenging behaviour and communication difficulties. The service is a homely, chalet bungalow, which is set in its own grounds. Our dedicated staff team provide 24 hour support and the level of support offered is completely dependent on individuals' needs. All staff are highly trained in communication.

All individuals are involved in designing their own Person Centred Plan, with staff support. The plans are tailored to suit individual needs and provide the correct level of support required. They also enable all individuals to make their own choices about the support they receive. We encourage and support those at Rose Cottage to recognise and identify their goals and ambitions and decide how they would like to go about achieving them.
