At Beacon House we encourage and enable the residents to lead a full and happy life. We work with each individual to find out their strengths, abilities and preferences so that the care provided can be as person-centred to each individual as possible.
The service is in a great location in Wibsey, Bradford. Halifax is close by and also on the doorstep of some beautiful countryside walks. The residents are encouraged to be involved in the local community and also supported to visit the city centre which is a 15 minute bus ride away, there is no shortage of community integration.
Beacon House is split into 6 different dwellings across 4 floors enabling individuals to live in smaller groups. Each living unit has its own lounge, dining room, kitchen, bathrooms and en-suite facilities. Externally we have a large garden with space for playing games and also a number of picnic tables allowing for summer entertaining.
In conjunction with the other local Cygnet residential services, we have some fantastic projects that residents can attend regularly including local bakery, gardening and on-site textile projects for residents. These projects introduce vocational and learning activities designed to give residents the opportunity to learn valuable skills and develop confidence.
The people we suppoprt may come to Beacon House for many reasons. They may be moving through their care pathway from a hospital setting or may require extra support during a difficult period in their life, or they could be on a pathway to a place of their own.
