Providing Service Users with a stepping stone towards further independence, the bungalow enables them to have greater levels of choice, fulfilment and independent living. The desired result of providing such a service is to prepare Service Users to take a further step to further independence in their own supported living tenancy.
Each Service User has their own room and live together in the bungalow, sharing communal facilities such as the living room and kitchen.Service Users may personalise and decorate their own room to their own taste, including buying or bringing in furniture and electrical equipment, providing it meets with Fire regulations and/or PAT testing.
Magnolia Bungalow is a registered home and still offers all the protection associated with a registered service. Due to no night cover the home is equipped with a sprinkler system linked to the fire alarms and for emergencies a nurse call which is linked to Magnolia House - one of our registered homes staffed 24 hours a day which is situated 100 yards from the bungalow.
