Seabreezes supports 6 people with learning disabilities, Autism and Epilepsy. We support and encourage people living at Seabreezes to make choices about all aspects of their lives, from the support they receive to the design of their bedroom.

Overview of Service

Seabreezes supports 6 people with learning disabilities, Autism and Epilepsy. Our dedicated staff team provide 24 hour support and the level of support is entirely dependent on individuals' needs.

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 those at Seabreezes to recognise and identify their goals and ambitions and how they would like to go about meeting them.

Seabreezes 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 service. This is extended to a voice at area, divisional and national level.
