Personalised Support

The needs of the person using the service are paramount in the design and delivery of the support, which is developed on an individually assessed basis with each person and their families to make sure that the service we provide is based on the needs and wishes of each person. We place particular emphasis on promoting independence and encouraging choice, and enabling people to achieve as high a level of personal fulfilment as possible.

Support Team

Training and development of the people who work for SJOG are key priorities to ensure service delivery is of the highest standard. There are values that we uphold in all that we do to make sure we treat people with Hospitality, Compassion and Respect.

Accommodation

Sandown Road is a large bungalow with nine bedrooms, all of which are single occupancy. The house has a purpose designed Snoezelen/relaxation room and comfortable, well-furnished lounge, dining and kitchen areas. Individuals are encouraged to bring with them personal belongings, and their bedrooms are decorated to their own choice. There is a large, spacious garden in which residents enjoy outdoor activities.

Location

Situated in a pleasant residential area in Billingham, the bungalow is ideally located within easy reach of the amenities the town has to offer. These include shops, a theatre, ice-rink, community centre, library and other leisure facilities.
