Our service in Ellon supports two gentlemen within their own home. Each has their own accommodation within the house- giving them both their own space, privacy and independence.
Both gentlemen lead active and varied lives. They enjoy being out in their local community, with no two days being the same. As a support worker you would support them in all aspects of their lives including delivering personal care, medication administration, cooking shopping and budgeting. There are lots of opportunities for staff to support them in the wide range of activities they enjoy including swimming, bowling, trips to the cinema, discos and clubs. In addition, both men love a short break or holiday to explore new places and try new things along with their team members.
