Why I like living at Calvert House

“I get to do my own thing and I feel safer than I have ever felt before, it has given me a new start from when I had my injury and I have made some great friends. I get involved in activities which I never would have got involved in.”

“I have learned to walk and cook for myself and I manage my anger with staff support and I also manage my money”

“There is always help at hand, I get on with everyone and feel safe.”

“I can deal with my anger more and I have staff that understand me. I can talk to them about anything and I feel more confident.”

“I have my own room here and my daughter can visit where she couldn’t in my last place, I can have as much or as little support as I want.”
