ABOUT LOCAL CARE HOME - SOUTHVIEW

Southview is a well established service, specialising in supporting individuals with autistic spectrum disorders, learning disabilities, epilepsy and associated behaviours. The service is situated in the village of Fair Oak and its location in the centre of a thriving community provides the opportunity to access a wide variety of activities with ease.

We believe everyone should have a varied and fulfilling lifestyle and be able to choose to do anything that any other young person would, such as studying and going to night clubs. The service provides a structured, warm environment, which we believe plays an important part in providing our service users with the opportunities and experiences in life that promote their individual growth. This empowers them to make choices and to take control of their life at their own pace. We support each person to reach their goals to the best of their abilities and recognise achievements, however small they may seem.

The progress people have made has happened because we listen to what they are telling us, however they communicate it, and build on each person’s interests to develop their confidence and flexibility. We encourage everyone to be involved in how the service is run and take on responsibility, if they wish, through tasks like interviewing staff or helping with maintenance checks. Several people have developed special roles in the service, such as Party Co-ordinator and Makaton Co-ordinator. We hold regular service user meetings where everyone can share their thoughts and one individual recently took part in the area service user forum.


All bedrooms have en-suite facilities and could be adapted to meet the mobility needs. The shared areas of the service include a large kitchen, a sensory room and a well maintained garden.
