The Sycamores provides a stimulating environment for four residents of informal status who are ready to start their journey to independent living following a period of hospital treatment.
The service empowers the residents to function to a higher therapeutic level with a careful reduction of staff interventions and clinical input. This gives people the freedom and independence to flourish and develop their skills. They are positively encouraged to seek vocational employment within the area.
“The team at Sycamores has restored renewed faith in community placements of those vulnerable individuals who suffer stigma and exploitation.”Tribunal Member
