    Situation

    Often, adults with physical disabilities living in care-homes are forced to rely on staff members. It is assumed that they are unable to do everyday tasks for themselves. Sometimes, residents are not treated as individuals and can be made to feel like they are unable to do anything for themselves. This is not the case. We believe that every disabled person is an individual, with different needs and abilities. Sometimes, all they need is a chance to learn new skills and to be independent.

    Solution

    At our care-home, 34 Claro Road, the focus is on independent living. We aim to equip our residents with the independent living skills to one day move out and live as part of the community, if they wish to. The 'Living Skills' project will provide accessible, safe kitchens, so that each and every resident can learn the skills of cooking, cleaning and planning meals for themselves. The kitchens are height adjustable, so that they can be used by everyone, whatever their individual needs.
