What we offer

Orchard View is a large detached house in a quiet residential area. There are 5 bedrooms, a shower room and toilet on the ground floor and a further 5 bedrooms with 2 bathrooms and a separate toilet on the first floor.

There are communal areas for people to socialise with others if they wish, including a spacious lounge, dining room and kitchen area. Additionally, there is a large garden which is used a lot for social activities during the summer months.

The ideal location of the service provides great access to local facilities, such as shops, restaurants and pubs. There are also excellent transport links such as trains and buses to nearby towns including the historical city of Rochester, Maidstone, London and South East Coastal resorts.

Lifestyle

At Orchard View, individuals are supported in taking part in a range of activities in the community in order to boost confidence, and social communication skills. This includes football, cinema, swimming, and local clubs such as music, drama and arts and crafts.

People will also be supported with independence skills such as personal care, cleaning, laundry, shopping and meal preparation. One resident, who was unwilling to try activities he wasn’t familiar with, has experimented with new hobbies including golf and has even travelled to Australia for his brother’s wedding. He has also completed a cooking course and regularly cooks for his housemates.

The service also holds regular events such as a recent picnic to raise money for charity YoungMinds. A lot of family and friends got involved in the event, with a BBQ, picnic food, an egg and spoon race and a football penalty shoot out. Everyone had a great time and the event raised £100!
