Overview of Service

At Georgina House we support 3 people with learning disabilities, Autism and Down's Syndrome. We aim to provide a safe and homely environment, where all individuals can make their own choices about the care and support they receive.

All individuals are involved in designing their own Person Centred Plan, with staff support. The plans are tailored to suit individual needs and provide the correct level of support required. They also enable all individuals to make their own choices about the support they receive. We encourage and support everyone at Georgina House to recognise and identify their goals and ambitions and decide how they would like to go about meeting them.

Georgina House promotes Craegmoor's communication strategy, "Your Voice", which encourages individuals, based on their preferred method of communication, to voice their views about the support they receive. Monthly meetings are held where individuals are able to represent the views and voices of others living at the house.

What it's Like to Live Here

There are a wide range of activities to get involved with at Georgina House, both in and out of the service.

We also go on many day trips, including visits to the seaside and the theatre.

Some individuals attend college and/or work placements.
