The Gables

The Gables provides support for people with learning disabilities and complex support needs, in an environment where everyone can make their own choices about the support they receive. We do everything we can to improve the health and wellbeing of the individuals we support and as a team we are focused on building positive outcomes for everyone.

Overview of Service

The Gables provides support for 10 people with learning disabilities and complex support needs. We aim to enable everyone to lead as independent a life as possible.

Everyone we support has their own Person Centred Plan. Each plan is designed to support an individual's personal choices and aspirations and focuses on what is needed to make that happen.

The Gables promotes Craegmoor's communication strategy, "Your Voice", which encourages everyone, based on their preferred method of communication, to voice their views about the support they receive. Monthly meetings are held where individuals are able to represent the views and voices of others living at the service. This is extended to area, divisional and national level.

What It's Like to Live Here

Everyone living at The Gables is encouraged and supported through their Person Centred Plans to achieve their goals and aspirations. For some people this means attending college to access various courses, including cooking, art and daily living skills. For others it means work placements and other day opportunities in line with their goals.

Within the house we continually and consistently promote the development of social skills, independent living and personal responsibility. These include daily skills such as shopping, cooking, doing laundry and cleaning and tasks are dependent upon an individual's ability. The people who live here are very proud of their home as they have so much involvement in creating it.
