Meet the Corner House team
We are committed to providing a service of the highest quality and therefore
recognise the need to involve people at all levels. Residents at The Corner House
receive individually tailored support to access mainstream social, leisure, education
and cultural activities in ordinary community setting alongside other members of the
community. The aim is to enable social inclusion and to promote a healthy lifestyle,
supporting them to make informed choices.
Each resident is part of a multidisciplinary Therapeutic Team, wherever possible a
member of each Therapeutic team will be on duty. Regular team meetings take place
enabling feedback on any issues or actions agreed by the team and, most
importantly, communicate the resident’s feedback. Our Service User Involvement
strategy extends involvement, not only with those who are directly engaged in our
services but also their families, carers, advocates or concerned others.
The Corner House is committed to developing a minimum of 25 hours per week of
meaningful activities through a unique person centred approach for each of our
residents, putting residents at the heart of decision making.
