What we offer

Wembdon Rise is a large property with ten self-contained flats, across three buildings, each with their own facilities so people can explore independent living. There are six large gardens which can be used for leisure activities, especially during summer months.

The house is in an ideal location, and people have easy access to community facilities. This includes the town centre, Bridgewater College, restaurants, the gym and a swimming pool, to name a few. There are also great transport links to surrounding areas, which provide opportunities for a wide range of day trips.

Lifestyle

People at Wembdon Rise lead active lives and take part in a variety of activities that can help increase social and communication skills. Popular activities that take place outside of the house include pottery, swimming, playing pool, cinema trips, group trips to the beach, theme park trips and gym sessions. Bridgewater and Taunton Canal are nearby, and the home is approximately a 30-minute drive from the North Somerset coastline, where people can visit.

We support people in identifying any education, college and/or work placements they wish to obtain and many of the residents are currently signed up to courses at the local college.

We continue to support a high number of people who have come from failed placements due to the nature of the support they need. We have successfully supported three people to venture out into their community after several months, and in one case years, of not doing so.
