Service user stories
The following are the experiences' of some of our service users
within the Adult Placement Scheme.
Alex’s story
"I have only lived with Debbie and Colin for a few
months. I used to live with older people in Dartford. I
have settled down well and have been out on my bike with them which
I couldn't do before."
Peter’s
story
"While living here I have learnt to do my own washing and
ironing, clean my room and cook a meal. But also have fun
going cycling, going to Karate - I am now an orange belt, going on
holidays, visiting castles and riding on steam trains."
Kelly’s
story
"I enjoy living here, I feel comfortable. I can do what I want
and make my own decisions. If I get confused Debbie and Colin
help me to understand things."
Karl's
story
"Karl is a great example of a preparation for independence
placement, where a placement is used as a stepping stone to
independent living."
