What we offer

Old Street is a bungalow with 5 ground floor bedrooms and wet rooms. There is additional communal space for when people want to socialise with others, including a living room, dining room and fully equipped kitchen.

The service also has its own sensory garden and a large outside space for people to enjoy in the summer. Old Street also has is own people carrier to take people on any day trips they wish to go on.

Old Street is located near Fareham and is therefore close to the beach and within walking distance of local bus services so people can access community facilities such as shops, pubs, restaurants, libraries and colleges.

Lifestyle

At Old Street people live very active lives and can take part in a range of leisure activities such as cinema trips, swimming, bowling, outdoor activities such as football and many day trips such as to the beach and local towns.

People are supported to be more independent, with many people obtaining volunteer work or paid work placements. Examples of this include two people who obtained paid employments as gardeners and one individual is paid to work at Head Office on reception. Additionally one person grew in confidence and through staged desensitisation, overcame his phobia of blood tests and enable safe prescribing of his medication.
