“LWH provides for a super service and an asset for adults who are vulnerable with special needs.”
“I have done lots of things since moving into Wakering House. I have been on a short holiday, captained a small boat on the Norfolk broads, started my driving lessons and soon I will be going to college to study computers. I now have regular contact with my family and the staff are helping me with travel training to increase my independence.”
