Grosvenor House supports four children and young people aged 11-19 years with a range of complex needs. This includes previous trauma, attachment difficulties, emotional and social difficulties, as well as mild to moderate learning difficulties and an autistic spectrum disorder (ASD). The property is located in a market town in Herefordshire and is a 5-minute walk from the town centre and near to a picturesque river.
Supporting the needs of the young people
At Grosvenor House, we pride ourselves on our ethos of family and everything that revolves around this. Our relationships with the young people are built on trust and respect, having yielded long term results for the young people which often meant that they have always remained in touch with the home.
Our staffing teams are made up of the Manager, Deputy, Team Leaders and Registered Care Workers, and all individuals work to the same goal of providing the young people with the best chance to grow as individuals and experience as much normality and support as possible. We want the young people to become well-rounded individuals by the time they leave Grosvenor House and we want their experiences at the home to have had a profound impact on them.
