Client story

“I feel like the staff are here for me”

One of our clients shares what he likes to do in his supported living service and the difference having more support staff has had on his life.

I’ve not been living here for long. I like it. It’s better than where I was living before. I didn’t expect there’d be more staff. It’s been better having more staff. It means I can do more stuff.

I like shopping, colouring on my iPad, and watching TV. Disney is my favourite channel. I go into town to shop. I like shopping for coats and clothes.

I feel supported here. I get support with shopping and tidying. Sometimes I cook and sometimes staff does it. I feel like the staff are here for me.

My favourite thing about being here is seeing friends. They make me feel happy. We do things together.
