Living at this service

Long Close is an ideal home for a sociable woman aged between 40 and 50. The women we support here are aged over 40. Their interests include going shopping, working, football, watching television, swimming, sports, going to the cinema, listening to music, cooking, karaoke, walking, and being in the community. It’s a very sociable house where the people are really good friends. At Long Close, people choose how they spend their time - meetings are held every month to decide on what kind of activities we should do. People particularly enjoy going to Blackpool and the zoo. We even go on holiday together - so far we’ve been to Lanzarote and Spain.
