Norton Road, Hove
Norton Road is situated close to the local train station and main bus routes. It is a five minute walk to the shops, cafes, college and libraries. The seafront is a short walk away where the leisure centre is found. The location is ideal for service users to be fully integrated into the community.
Norton Road is an older style four storey town house which is spacious with a lot of character. All service users have a single en-suite bedroom, which is decorated to the taste of the individual. We also have facilities such as a passenger lift and specialist bathroom equipment for persons with mobility difficulties.
Our aim is to provide a quality service which enables each individual to develop skills and fulfil their potential. All service users have an individual person centred plan which enables staff to work positively with service users in their personal development. We have a dedicated team of staff at Norton Road who all receive training and supervision.
We have excellent links with the local community, day services, MENCAP, and the community learning disability team. Service users are supported in their chosen lifestyle and encouraged to participate in activities outside the home.
