“It’s amazing to have my own independence”
I’ve been living here for nine years. I used to live with my mum but she couldn’t look after me any more so that’s why I moved here.
It’s the best thing I ever did. I love it here.
Sometimes it does get a bit noisy so I go into my room and put my headphones in. I’m not particularly good with noise.
When I used to live with my mum, she used to do everything for me. Here, I’ve got my independence. I learnt to cook here. I love cooking.
It’s amazing to have my own independence. I can make my own choices.
We all have our own days we go out. On Fridays I go to craft club and shopping. Friday is a fun day for me.
Now and then I see my family. So I have a good life.
I get very good support here. I love all my Support Workers, and the Deputy Manager and Manager. My Keyworker’s fab as well. I love everyone here.
