“Our son appears to have made tremendous progress in terms of skills and social engagement.”
“Really, really pleased with how our son is getting on – he is doing so well.”
“Words cannot describe what it feels to me as his mum to know my boy is being looked after by people who ‘get’ him.”
“I wish to congratulate staff and my son on a positive report. He was alert and engaged throughout the CPA. His speech was clear and he was able to respond to questions appropriately. The placement has clearly supported him to make changes within his life. Well done to everyone involved.”
“I love working for this fantastic team. We support awesome service users who enrich our lives as much as we do theirs, and I feel so lucky to be able to work at such a great place.”
“I don’t know quite how to say THANK YOU but…. THANK YOU. You and your team do a great job and it is noticeable when we see our son. I can’t tell you how you have transformed our lives. And how grateful we are. Please pass on my thanks to Gary for our chat after the meeting I had with you this morning. It is really helpful for me to talk to the people ‘on the ground’ about how they feel about him and how they react to [his] individual behaviours and what he gets up to…It was great hearing first hand about his holiday and his experiences at Greenacre and his gardening project at Mirabeau.”
“Thank you for arranging our son’s taster day and for all the effort you are putting into finding things for him to do when he transitions to keep him active which is essential to his physical and mental wellbeing as documented by many of the health professionals involved in his care.”
“[The home] provides the tranquility of the countryside as well as the opportunity to be within easy reach of the local amenities. I know he enjoys his walks, bicycle rides and the horse stables, as well as his new found hobby of fishing. We feel our son is loved and cared for.”
“All staff at Rascasse welcome us warmly. The Manager and Deputy Manager always find time to talk to us when we visit. The Manager even makes me tea or coffee!”
“I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful weekend we had, with the wedding on Saturday and a family gathering at our house on Sunday…We would like to say the staff did a superb job on the day of supporting him and we could not have asked for more…to have our three sons together looking so smart and happy was a very proud moment.”
