Aberdeen Terrace – Meet the people
We are two ladies who have lived together for many years and have become great friends. We both need support to move around the home safely and access the community. To do this we have wheelchairs and other moving and positioning aids.
What is important to us
We enjoy being out in the community and going to events, we enjoy swimming and being on holidays. We like music especially musicals and attending the theatre. We like baking within our home and more importantly, eating what we have made with our staff team.
We both like to maintain our independence as much as possible. We like to have a laugh and a joke with others, and we are very caring people. We enjoy meeting new people and being involved in wider group activities.
We like people that are not afraid to be silly, people who will sing and dance along with us and have a bubbly personality. We would not enjoy being with people that wouldn’t involve us in activities or moments. We wouldn’t like to be around people that are bossy and those who wouldn’t ask us what we would want.
Things we love to do
We love our gardens, we have seasonal items we like to have put outside. We enjoy sitting in the garden within the summer and seeing the local animals come to visit. We have a shared living room, kitchen, and bathroom and both of us have a bedroom that is decorated to our own tastes. Our shared spaces are full of photos of us, friends, and family.
We have many neighbours who know us well. They always engage with us when outside in the garden or leaving the home.
Other information
There is always 1 colleague on shift, and we receive shared support, and both of us get 1-1 hours which means an additional staff member comes during the day. The home needs to have 1 staff member present 24 hours a day.
It is a female-only support team, however, we do enjoy being in the presence of male staff who come to visit us. "Gender is considered to be a genuine occupational requirement in accordance with paragraph 1 of Schedule 9 of the Equality Act."
Shift patterns are 07:00 to 14:30, 14:30 to 22:00, 22:00 to 07:00 sleep ins and 1-1 hours 10:00-17:00. There is a rolling rota in place which allows for regular weekends off and staff often support others during sickness and annual leave.
