A solution to finding a home for adults with Dual Diagnosis (Learning difficulty with Mental Health needs which may include a personality disorder)

Finding a suitable home for a service-user with Dual Diagnosis, who requires a high level of support needs, may not be a quick or easy process for Social Workers. However, there are a few lucky clients, who have settled into their new homes in Shropshire and Somerset, making a few Social Workers very satisfied.

The new homes are ‘Glanmore’, situated in Wellington near Telford, and Ashcombe Court, a former ‘sea-side’ guest house in Weston-super-Mare. Both homes are situated in the heart of their local community with Glanmore less than one hour from Birmingham and Stoke and within an easy travel distance to Wolverhampton, Telford and Shrewsbury, whilst Ashcombe Court is less than one hour from Bristol, Bath, Bridgewater and Taunton.

The two homes opened in 2006, operated by tracscare, are registered by CSCI for adults with a Dual Diagnosis. Both homes are recently refurbished properties with a quality finish boasting new kitchens, leather sofas, and modern décor. Glanmore House has seven en-suite bedrooms, and in addition to the usual homely communal space, has a very large conservatory. Glanmore has disabled access to ground and first floors. Ashcombe Court has six en-suite bedrooms, and an attractive decked court yard garden.

At tracscare, we believe that a person with a disability should be able to live a normal life to enjoy choice, freedom, independence and an environment conducive to continued development towards self-reliance. We feel that a person with a disability needs a more structured life to be able to develop towards their maximum ability. To this aim, a person centred care plan is written for each individual. Clients also have access to a variety of clinical services according to their needs. tracscare employs qualified Clinical Support Nurses (learning disability or mental health trained), who co-ordinate clinical input.
