About the service
Hopewell House is a supported living scheme based on Portsmouth Road in Guildford, near the town centre. We provide a holistic support package tailored to the goals and needs of service users. Hopewell House has nine rooms for one person each and a Crisis Support Service bed offering short term support to people in mental health crisis. The house is a listed, semi-detached, four-storey building in a residential area. It has ten bedrooms plus shared living areas, laundry facilities and a kitchen. There is a large back garden.
Our aim is to support and assist recovery for people with a primary diagnosis of mental health issues to help them achieve a series of personal goals. We anticipate maximum stays of 2-3 years, during which time service users work with a keyworker to achieve a greater level of independence (i.e. living alone out in the community, or living with less support). Staff work with service users to implement a recovery support plan, which is reviewed on a regular basis.
The staff team includes a Project Coordinator, two Senior Social Care Workers, and three Social Care Workers.
The house is within easy walking distance of Guildford town centre and the main line railway station. Guildford is an historic town set in beautiful countryside that offers nature trails and walks. The town itself offers a wide range of leisure facilities, including a multi-screen cinema, theatres, bowling alley, gyms, and even a castle.
Guildford has a wealth of schemes and support organisations to help people with assistance across a number of areas, and access to education opportunities (Guildford has a college and adult education centre, both near the town centre).”
