What accommodation is available?
Green Lane
Green Lane provides a lively environment with always lots
going on for people who like to be active and social.
This has five guest bedrooms, all with wash
basins. Two bedrooms are on the ground floor, and three
bedrooms are on the first floor. The house has a wheel-in shower
facility, two lounge areas and one kitchen area. These provide
opportunities for people to have time together with other people,
or time alone if you wish.
Church Street
Church Street is a dormer bungalow and provides an
accessible environment for guests. There are four guest
bedrooms on the ground floor, all with wash basin. There is a fully
adapted bathroom on the ground floor and a walk-in
shower.
Who can stay there?
Both these guest houses offer accommodation for people over the
age of 18, who live in the Wigan and Leigh area, and who
have learning and/or physical disabilities. However, in order to
work out whether a short stay would best meet your needs, we
do need to carry out an assessment.
What is an assessment?
After the assessment we will identify and agree your needs with
you and discuss the help and support available to meet them,
according to the seriousness of your situation.
How much does it cost?
There will be some cost but the actual amount you pay will
depend on how long you stay and what services you receive.
Can I get help with the cost?
It is possible. We will help you fill out a financial assessment
form to see if you qualify for financial help. To get a rough idea
of costs you can carry out a quick, confidential financial self
assessment, online.
How much will I pay for services?
We may provide or arrange services for you but there are other
ways of getting the support you need. You can choose to have a
Personal Budget and use the money that you receive from us to
arrange your own support.
