Grant to St Elizabeth's Centre (360G-HertsCF-A597435)
All of our service users have severe epilepsy/complex health conditions, which make them very vulnerable to Covid. They also require personal care/support to keep fed, washed and safe, which means social distancing is difficult. Many have struggled with the necessary changes to their routine and with inactivity, which can then cause health issues, including seizures. They need specialist, consistent support in a Covid-secure environment, enabling social interaction with others, participation in leisure activities/social enterprises, so maintaining current skills and developing new ones, and supporting positive mental health. For day clients, it also provides much-needed respite for their primary carers.

Therefore they require year-round highly-specialised support, 24-hours-a-day. We aim to provide specialist care and education, keep them safe and healthy, build shared communities and remove any barriers they may face, ensuring they can live their lives to the fullest. We provide: -Residential Accommodation: specially-adapted bungalows for adults, Children’s Home, Respite Care facilities and supported-housing units, all with 24-7 support. -Specialist Education facilities: specialist School and Further Education College. -Key Skills Development /Leisure Opportunities: on- and off-site activities to encourage improved communications, confidence, social/ vocational skills. -24-7 Specialist Health & Therapeutic support, including Epilepsy Nurses, Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists.
