What we offer

The Grove is a spacious semi-detached house in a residential area close to Sutton. It has 8 bedrooms across three floors, with a shared communal kitchen, living room and dining room for socialising with others. There is also a large private garden for everyone to enjoy where social activities often take place.

The service is in an ideal location, with local facilities including shops, restaurants, leisure facilities and the local college within close proximity. Additionally, there are great transport links including bus routes and train services to central London.

Lifestyle

At The Grove, individuals are supported in taking part in a variety of leisure activities such as swimming, bowling, music sessions, sensory sessions, day centre visits, horse riding, going to the library and gardening. At The Grove, there are also regular events such as the day trips to Hastings and a tea party.

Individuals are supported in increasing their independence, and one individual who previously never wanted to associate with flatmates outside the community now regularly goes out with his flatmates for meals and drives. He also went on holiday twice to Bognor Regis and Centre Parks and attends his own health care appointments rather than having home visits. This was a big step as it meant conquering his fear of the unknown.

Individuals have been supported in obtaining volunteer placements and/or paid work. One person has followed her passion for animals and has been regularly volunteering at Deen City Farm on Thursdays since 2015.
