Overview of Service

The support at Westbury Lodge is delivered by a skills-led team of staff. We strive to support people to gain independence within their community, offering innovative solutions and opportunities to maximise their potential. The dedicated staff team are experienced and trained to support people to identify achievable goals and use a fun, Person Centred approach.

Westbury Lodge promotes Craegmoor's communication strategy, "Your Voice", which encourages individuals, based on their preferred method of communication, to voice their views about the support they receive. Monthly meetings are held where individuals are able to represent the views and voices of others living at the service. This is extended to a voice at area, divisional and national level.

What It's Like to Live Here

Our service takes great pride in providing a wide range of activities for people to get involved in, which include in-house activities such as arts and crafts and baking.

We also have close links with other local services, which have computer and sensory rooms individuals can use.

The people that we support are encouraged through their Person Centred Plans to achieve their goals and aspirations. For some people this means attending college to access various courses, including cooking, art and daily living skills. For others it means work placements and other day opportunities in line with their goals.

Within the house we continually and consistently promote the development of social skills, independent living and personal responsibility. This includes daily skills such as shopping, cooking, doing laundry and cleaning, and tasks are dependent upon an individual's ability. The people who live here are very proud of their home as they have so much involvement in creating it.
