Park Street

82 Park Street is located in Trowbridge, in the county town of Wiltshire, and offers residential support for four males and females. We are located on a residential street, close to the town centre and amenities.

Our team are dedicated to improving the health, happiness and wellbeing of the people we support. We are focused on building positive outcomes for everyone. Some of our residents see this as their home for life, whereas others aspire to move on to more independent living, which we support and encourage.

We can support people with:

• A learning disability
• Autism
• Mental health needs
• Difficulties with communication
• Mild to moderate behaviours that challenge

Our approach to support

Everyone who lives at 82 Park Street has their own person-centred care plan, which is co-produced with input from the individual, their family members and professionals involved in their care. We aim to help everyone in our care to make their own choices about the support they receive. This may include support in a number of areas, such as going out in the community, maintaining contact with family and friends, social opportunities, holidays, and real work opportunities.

We also have support from a community multidisciplinary team (MDT), including positive behaviour support (PBS), psychology and psychiatry. In addition, we use tools such as the Outcomes Star™ to support our residents to achieve their goals.

The lengths of the placements that we offer at 82 Park Street can be transitional, short-term/respite, medium or long-term residential, depending on the needs of each person.

Activities

Everyone who lives at 82 Park Street has their own personalised activities planner and are encouraged to take part in activities which are meaningful and fulfilling to them. Our dedicated team organise a variety of activities at the home, as well as out in the community.

We focus on supporting our residents to grow their independence. For some people, this may mean developing their daily living skills within the home. For others, this could be accessing work or educational opportunities in the local community.

• Makaton training
• Epilepsy awareness training
