Living at this service

Greenlands View is ideal for a man aged between 20 and 40. The men living here are aged between 23 and 37 and have complex care needs and challenging behaviour, so we are equipped to support someone who has equally challenging needs. The people here live with diverse needs including autism, bipolar disorder, learning disabilities, cerebral palsy, and seasonal affective disorder. They have varied personalities too - one man is non-verbal, another enjoys his own space and spending time alone, while the other men like to socialise and spend time in the community. At Greenlands View, people enjoy walking in the local area, cooking, socialising, doing chores, shopping, listening to music, going to the disco, running, sensory play, arts and crafts, swimming, fireworks and watching films. People choose how they spend their time - day trips to White Castle, Liverpool, Manchester and the circus are a few recent examples. This is a busy household where people like to stay active so we work in collaboration with each person to make sure they can do whatever activities they’d like.
