About this home

West Street is a supported living service for adults aged 18+ with mental health needs, learning disabilities and/or autism spectrum conditions.

West Street has a philosophy of person-centred support, giving choice, independence and encouragement. We enable individuals to develop and maintain skills to give them the freedom to be as independent as possible, to reach their potential and realise their goals. We will support new opportunities for achievement with informed choices and managed risks so that there is a continuous path of progress within the community.

We support people to attend college, find supported employment and take part in other meaningful daytime activities so they can develop and maintain new skills in a friendly and supportive environment. We ensure that all health needs are met in full with access to local practitioners and provide an environment that is safe but ensures that tenants have autonomy over their lives. In addition, we encourage people to participate in a full range of social activities and to acquire, where necessary, the appropriate social skills and behaviours. We seek people’s views through meetings and other appropriate means.

What we offer

West Street has been completely redeveloped and refurbished to a high standard. It is a supported living service, which has the capacity to support 6 individuals.

There are 2 two-bedroom flats and 2 single self-contained flats. All the flats have a separate bedroom, bathroom and spacious open plan kitchen and lounge area.

There is a communal patio and wooden gazebo in which all individuals share and often have communal BBQ’s. The service is in the town centre of Wisbech, close to a swimming pool, cinemas and various parks. West Street is also close to the bus station, which has regular links to King’s Lynn and Peterborough.

Lifestyle

The people living in West Street enjoy going to the local day centre where they can meet others and participate in a range of activities.

Other activities enjoyed by individuals are walks and bike rides in the local area, swimming, gym sessions, cooking workshops, cinema, bowling, and games nights.

Due to the service providing individual flats, it is a perfect place for individuals to develop their independence and practice for living independently in the community. We recently had one gentleman who has moved into his own flat in the community with Outreach support. He was supported by West Street staff throughout the transition process and is now doing very well.
