Birch Tree Place

Type of property

Birch Tree Place apartments provide the perfect blend of shared space and independent living. Being in a shared building means that people can benefit from a network of friends and staff, as well as having peace and quiet when they need it too. The building has sixteen apartments, each with one bedroom, an open-plan kitchen and living room, and a bathroom with a shower. Birch Tree Place has four accessible apartments, which come equipped with a wet room style ensuite with sliding doors, which can be accessed from both the bedroom and the hallway. There’s an accessible garden with a patio and a BBQ for people to use when the weather is good. Pets are welcome too - we already have a gerbil, a fish and a hamster living here. Assistive technology is fitted as standard to give you peace of mind. The building has CCTV throughout, exit buttons on all doors, a nurse call point in each apartment, armbands for disabled people, electronic beds, and an intercom system.

Living at this service

Birch Tree Place is ideal for a mature person who likes to socialise. People choose how they spend their time - it’s a busy household where everyone has hobbies and stays active. People enjoy walking in the local area, socialising, gardening, bingo, volunteering at the local food bank, going to the gym, clubbing, shopping, listening to music, watching television and being in the community. One of the people we support here has won a silver medal playing hockey at the Special Olympics.
