MARSH MEADOWS
Home From Home
Opening a respite facility has been a dream of ours since we opened in 2006, a dream we were thrilled came to fruition in 2017 as we opened the door to our very first home in the heart of Ripponden. Our goal was to maintain the high level of support we already offered through our community-based day services and to extend this to a facility that offers respite in a homely environment with familiar staff where individual needs are consistently met.
Having enjoyed our idyllic bungalow for several years, we found that we were fast outgrowing the space we had and began searching for a larger home. We were thrilled to find an already accessible bungalow in Southowram that with a few tweaks, would be perfect for our Next Steppers.
After completion of some renovation works and with approval from CQC, we are thrilled to announce our move from Ripponden to Southowram where we are the proud of a beautiful, centrally located yet tranquil bungalow. Our new home combines the convenience of a central location with the peace and beauty of a holiday retreat.
Our goal remains to provide outstanding support in a warm, homely environment and with the additional space both inside and out, we are confident that the quality of our services will meet the 6* standard that we strive for.
Our environment is designed to help individuals relax and enjoy their time, whilst giving parents and carers the confidence and assurance they need for some much needed rest.
The house is a specifically adapted five-bedroom detached bungalow with full wheelchair access, ceiling track hoists and facilities tailored to individuals’ needs. The surrounding gardens provide a sensory experience, enhancing the well-being of those that we support with the opportunity for them to test out their horticultural skills, soak up the rays and enjoy the beauty that Southowram has to offer.
Award-Winning Service
In recognition of our respite facility, we are thrilled and honoured to have been awarded “Breakthrough of the Year” at the 2017 Community Spirit Awards:
