Being happy, being Safe

Meadowside is a very happy and relaxed home where all residents are able to come and go as they please. Eveyone is encouraged to take part in the regular residents meetings which include choosing menus, the colour of their rooms, planning holidays or just asking questions on how their home is run.

The home provides support to residents so that they can become as independent as possible. Staff promote independent, social living and interpersonal skills. Some residents join activities or groups set up in Tavistock itself e.g. walking, yoga, computer studies and conservation work.

At Meadowside all residents are treated as individuals and have the same rights to privacy, dignity, independence and fullfulment as anyone else living in their own home. All bedrooms are single occupancy with locks, so that belongings are kept safe. They also have a lockable facility within them to store personal or valuable items, medication etc. securely.
