Rowan Tree Court

About
Supported living at Rowan Tree Court is a supported living service for adults with learning disabilities and/or mental health issues. The service comprises of four 2-bedroom apartments, all in close proximity to each other and on the same floor. The four apartments are located within a larger development of apartments, which contain a mixture of private owners, tenants and also affordable housing tenants. The scheme is for three service users in total, with one service user occupying each 2-bedroom apartment. Each service user has their own standard easy-read individual tenancy agreement with Complete Care Services Ltd. Service users receive support from Tamarindo Care Ltd; this support can be with any and every aspect of daily living.

Out of the four apartments, one apartment is designated as a support base where there is a member of support staff present 24/7; ensuring that the service user has the reassurance of a staff member always being present yet has the independence of their own front door. The support base apartment is also used as a communal area where service users can spend time together/with staff and also undertake various independent living skills classes (such as budgeting, cooking, etc) and e-learning.

The dedicated staff and management team are highly experienced in managing challenging behaviours, mental health associated needs and complex needs. There are currently 6 male service users at Rowan Tree Court; with a younger age range.
