Testimonials

I like to go shopping, bowling and for a meal.

I like the people and the staff here at Bridgewood House. I like helping and going out during the day and evenings. I love the food and the entertainment. I think the people who sing are friendly to me because they get me up to sing and dance.

I am very pleased. My son has been looked after for many years by Bridgewood Trust. So much so, I have another son with learning difficulties who, when the time 
comes, I want him to go to Bridgewood Trust too so they can stay in contact with each other. If I have doubts or concerns I can always talk things through.

I cannot fault Ravensknowle Road. I am kept informed of all his care and what is going on. Ravensknowle has surpassed all our previous experiences in a positive way. The staff team go way beyond what is expected of them and treat my son as an individual.

 I like talking to the staff because they help you. I enjoy it.

It is good to make new friends.

I like to see my friends. My favourite activity is baking.

Training helps me keep abreast of things and keeps my knowledge up-to-date, as well as enhancing my skills.

Training helps me do my job correctly and gives me up-to-date knowledge.

Training improves my skills, which helps me do my job better and most importantly give quality support to service users.

I have lived at my house for fifteen years. I like living here, my good friends also like living here. I can see where I lived with my mum and dad from my bedroom window.
