Torquay - Castle Road
Castle Road is the base for our South Devon services and is itself a 13 bed residential home.
Residents are free to come and go as they please, with reassurance that appropriate support staff are on hand at all times.
The house has a games room with pool and table tennis facilities, along with some gym equipment. Residents are also able to enjoy a large garden and encouragement is given to those who wish to participate in its upkeep. Home grown produce is often enjoyed at meal time.
The home is staffed 24 hours a day by experienced staff who undergo continuous training. A key worker system is in place at Castle Road. A fundamental staff role is to support clients with care plan goals and individual needs.
Castle Road Ethos
Staff at the home practise a user and needs led support role with emphasis on enabling and empowering service users. We view Castle Road as a positive bridge from hospital care into independent living. It is our intention to provide a safe, warm and friendly environment, with a holistic approach to other good existing service provisions.
Quality of life, it is expected will be improved through assessment of need, development of resources and user led care plans which promote independence. Choice, at Castle Road, is encouraged through user involvement and person centred care within a safe environment.
Confidentiality is paramount and valued by both residents and staff. Our residents are supported in communicating and engaging with organisations and people within the community to promote opportunities to function, participate and develop in society.
Promoting opportunities for service users to use their own strengths and expertise to enable them to meet responsibilities, secure rights and achieve change is a positive feature of life at Castle Road. Service users work in partnership with staff and other services to assess and review circumstances and plan responses to need and risk. Through working together with the wider community, we offer a valuable and comfortable environment for people with and recovering from mental health illness.
