Respect and care for others: at the heart of all our work

Our approach is founded upon the provision of a spacious environment and a person centred service, tailored to meet individual needs, wishes and aspirations.

Our aim is to enable people with learning difficulties to have an "ordinary" life. We achieve this by encouraging and working with our service users to be fully integrated into the community in which they live and to take part in its activities according to their individual needs, abilities and interests.

All our staff are trained and supervised with a view to their achieving such positive outcomes for our residents.

We thus continue to value each and every individual, who comes to live at Springfield. When an application is made we first assess the applicant's suitability and motivation for engaging in the type of programme that we have to offer. We discuss fully our philosophy, aims and plans with the service user and their relatives and representatives. From this initial assessment we work out jointly a plan of care for that individual and proceed from there. This ensures that the individual service user is at the centre of all our helping efforts and this helps us to develop a positive and proactive approach to their care.

The Home takes both men and women with different kinds and levels of learning disabilities, who can be effectively accommodated and supported.  All service users are assured that they will be treated with respect and dignity according to their individual needs and wishes.
