The property is a 4 bedroom detached house in a quiet cul-de-sac of 11 houses overlooking fields. There is parking for 2 cars beside the garage situated at the front of the house. There is a small step to enter the property which leads into a hallway with a lounge on the left, staircase directly in front, door leading to the kitchen/dinner and conservatory on the right that is rear facing overlooking the garden and fields and a smaller ‘snug’ lounge on the right at the front of the house. There is also a downstairs toilet off the kitchen/diner.
The front and rear gardens are well kept and a medium size with a summer house at the end of the rear garden.
There are two rooms available to SLSW – one rear facing double room with an en-suite and one single room, front facing. This means individuals may not be the only one supported but equally the carers are flexible to supporting individuals alone if this is their preference.
There are good bus links very close by and the local town of Taunton is less than 10-minute drive with lots of amenities and shops.
The carers have previous experience of supporting an individual in their home for many years until the end of his life. They took a break from supporting in their home following his death but one carer continued to work as night support worker part time within a supported living setting and more recently the other carer became a micro-provider for one gentleman.
They are only looking to provide short breaks within their homes.
It is only the carers within the property, they do not have any pets but do have grandchildren who visit regularly.
This vacancy would suit individuals looking for a quieter household with opportunities to develop their independence skills or maintain skills, as well as days out to various places and partake in various activities if they wish.
