Aurora is a 2 bedroom bungalow situated on the same site as Park House. The property has a shared driveway but is separate from the main house.
Aurora is suitable for up to two individuals with learning difficulties, challenging behaviour and autism who may be building on some independence skills. It has it’s own open plan kitchen and garden.
Aurora is an ideal home for adults that would like to take advantage of social aspects of being part of the Park House community, but that also prefers their own space. This means they would not be secluded in Aurora, but there is also opportunity for relaxed downtime with staff.
Park House also has a separate residents community area called the “Hive” which contains a pool table and football table along with other activities and café facilities.
The centre of the market town of Bromyard is a 2 minute walk away.
The resident/s of Aurora would need to have their own waking night with the potential to a share a waking night with another person. They would need to be funded for 1:1 staffing due to Aurora being separate from the main house.
For more information please call Rob Cook, Business Development Manager Tel: 07974 102719

Kimberly Fletcher-Stallard is the Registered Manager and leads a small team of dedicated and experienced care support workers.
