Supporting Terry to Achieve his Ultimate Goal of Independent Living

We’re so proud of the goals Terry has achieved since moving into Albert Road.

With support from passionate colleagues, he has gained the skills and confidence to prepare his meals and engage more with people we support who also live in the house.

~ Improved diet and independence

Terry has developed independence and makes his own meals. With support from colleagues, he contributes to menu planning and chooses healthier options on his shopping list.

His favourite food is pizza. Instead of buying a frozen one and putting it in the oven, Terry now enjoys making his own from scratch, which he says tastes so much better!

~ Independent living skills and engagement

Over time, Terry has gained the confidence to use the communal kitchen to prepare and eat his meals and socialise with housemates. Previously, he would not engage with others and sit in his bedroom.

Another achievement is that Terry, with support from colleagues, uses the tin opener to open his tins of soup. Not only has this enhanced his hand-eye coordination, it has also improved the dexterity in his hands.
