Mr & Mrs 'L'
Mr. & Mrs. L. are in their late 40's/early 50's. They live
in Rusthall, near Tunbridge Wells and are currently foster carers
to a young man who is now over 18. They are being approved as adult
placement carers to enable them to continue to care for him into
adulthood. They also have another room which they would like to
offer to another service user as a permanent placement. This room
is a large loft conversion with a sloping window.
Mrs. L.'s daughters and grandchildren live nearby and are frequent
visitors therefore any service users would need to be comfortable
around small children.
The house is semi-detached and in a residential area which is
within walking distance of the small town of Rusthall which has a
good selection of essential shops, post office, library, two
churches, community centre, G.P.'s and dentist.
Buses run every 15 minutes into Tunbridge Wells which has a cinema,
bowling, theatre, swimming pool and a large selection of shops,
restaurants and pubs. Train station is one and a half miles away
with trains to London and the Coast.
They have 2 dogs and 1 parrot. Smoker would be considered but they
would need to smoke outside.
Mr. & Mrs. L. are being presented to the Approval Panel on 2nd
December and if they are approved they will be ready to consider
new placements after this date.
Mr & Mrs 'H'
Mr. & Mrs. H. are in their 50's. They live in a
semi-detached house on a busy road in Tonbridge which is fairly
close to the town, which has a good variety of shops, restaurants
and pubs. Tunbridge Wells is a short bus or car journey and offers
bowling, cinema and leisure facilities.
Mr. H. works very long hours and therefore Mrs. H. is the main
carer. She is very experienced having previously run a successful
Day Centre in the local area.
This is a non-smoking household and a smoker would probably not be
considered. They have two fairly large dogs who are, initially,
quite boisterous but soon settle down once they have met you.
Mrs. H. is keen to offer respite with a view to providing
individualised care.
She is being presented to the Approval Panel on 2nd December and if
she is approved she will be ready to consider new respite
placements after this date.
Mr 'S' and Mr 'H' (long-term)
Ms. S. (late 40's) and Mr. H. (late 50's) live in a
semi-detached house in a residential area close to Gravesend town
centre. They both have a lot of experience of supporting adults
with learning disabilities and they have been adult placement
carers since March 2006.
They currently have two male service users living with them and
they are now looking to support a third person. This would
preferably be a male and it would need to be someone who would
match well with their current service users. Their aim is to teach
life skills with a view to helping people to move onto more
independent living. This has been clearly demonstrated with their
current service users.
Ms 'S' and Mr 'H' enjoy a healthy outdoor life and their interests
include gardening, walking and cycling. Anyone being considered for
this placement would need to be able and willing to join in this
lifestyle. They would also need to access day care services during
the week.
This is a non-smoking household and there are no pets.
Mrs 'K' (respite and long-term)
Mrs 'K' is in her early 50's and lives in Edenbridge with her
husband, who is also in his 50's. They are both very easy going
with lots of energy. Mrs 'K' has previously worked for many years
as a carer in a residential home for adults with a learning
disability. They live in a 3 bedroomed end of terrace house. The
bedroom and bathroom are upstairs so the service user would need to
be able to manage stairs.
Mr and Mrs 'K' enjoy trips out to the cinema, bowling, theatre
and restaurants and a service user would be encouraged to join in
these activities. Although Mrs 'K' does not drive this does not
stop her from doing many activities with her current service users
which involve travel on trains, buses and occasional coach trips.
Pets include one cat and tropical fish.
In addition to offering respite Mrs. K. is now also offering a
permanent placement. This would preferably be a female who is
fairly active to enable them to share in the activities Mrs. K.
currently offers to her respite service users. They would need to
access day care services during the week. This is a non-smoking
household.
