Person-centred planning is at the heart of everything we do, based on each person’s specific needs. We understand that consistency and continuity of care is important for the individuals we care for.

Pines has 7 en-suite bedrooms as well as numerous communal spaces including lounge, dining room, sensory room, activity of daily living kitchen as well as a nice garden.

Located down a quiet lane, just a 15 minute drive from the bustling town of Mansfield, the individuals we support have access to a large amount of community facilities and activities, including horse riding, swimming and visiting the library.

As part of our care pathway, Pines enables each individual to build upon their skills to achieve further independence, self-advocacy and confidence, leading to a better quality of life.

The team supports each individual to create person-centred activity planners and develop daily living skills both inside the home and out in the community. The integrated multi-disciplinary team (MDT) consists of occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, psychology and psychiatry. Our staff use least restrictive practice approaches and are trained in specialised intervention techniques and sensory integration strategies.
