The Marshes

Lifestyle

People at The Marshes are supported to lead active lives and take part in a wide range of activities within the service and within the community. The local community centre is used on a weekly basis for various activities including a club night and sensory sessions. People enjoy weekly meals out, trips to the pub, transport college, bowling and leisure centre activities.

Outside professionals visit the service and provide therapeutic support such as music sessions, light exercise sessions, and aromatherapy. There has also been visits from Pet Pals where people can interact with animals within the service.

The service is supported by opticians, chiropodist, district nurse and other health professional as required. The local community learning disability team support the service and attend reviews for each individual on an annual basis or as required. We focus on working as part of a multi disciplinary team in order to ensure excellent outcomes for the people that live here.

The service supports individuals to go on any holidays they wish to, and the service recently went on holiday to West Wittering, where everyone stayed in a 5 bedroom holiday home that had lovely gardens, with a decked area near a stream. Everyone enjoyed the warm weather, relaxing and listening to the radio in the garden. They went on trips to Marwell Zoo where a tractor ride was enjoyed by all, and ate chips on Bognor Beach. In the evening they had dinner out and everyone went to see Jersey Boys at the local cinema.
