We place great importance in accessing the widest range
of community facilities that we can, and through our activity
timetables, arrange dry slope skiing, golf, fishing, bowling,
theatre, cinema, boating and ice skating.
An annual holiday can be arranged for those who wish to go, and in previous
years we have had many happy times staying in some beautiful places.
The Old Vicarage is set within large front and rear gardens, giving privacy
from the road.
We have free facilities for laundry and
cooking, together with many recreational
facilities such as Sky TV, games consoles,
pool table, basketball hoop, computer room
with internet access.
The
home has four communal rooms located on the ground floor and allowing
plenty of space for privacy, or to join others
for a game of cards or a meal!
There is an outdoor, sheltered smoking
area adjoined to the conservatory, but
smoking is prohibited within the home.
It is our aim to actively encourage service
users to cater for their own needs and diversify their range of abilities as
much as possible. The home provides monitoring
and measuring tools to ensure that
the service users are reaching their goals,
with the help of our experienced staff team.
It is also our aim to access appropriate
external professionals and advisory services
according to the needs of the service
user, together with primary health
care facilities.
The Old Vicarage is situated within easy reach of Uxbridge town centre, with
a wide choice of bars, restaurants, cinema, library, swimming pool and sports
centre. The metropolitan line is accessible from the town centre, providing easy
access to London and beyond. In addition, the home also has its own 8 seater
transport for journeys further-a field and we actively encourage our service
users to participate in planning and partaking in various trips.

This is a successful placement for my son because of the continuity of staff
and the consistently high standard of involvement from his key worker.
