Services/Activities provided by the service
Although Cosgrove Care was initially a provision for Jewish service users, it now supports a percentage of people from outwith this culture. Cosgrove supports service users to live their own lives in their own or shared flats. Members of staff will support the individuals to sustain their own tenancies, run their own lives and live according to their wishes.
Cosgrove’s Mission Statement is “Cosgrove Care empowers all of its people to fulfil their potential in the journey of life”
All service users are given the opportunity to fulfil the statement and live as ‘normal’ a life as possible. They are given the same opportunity as anyone to access all amenities in their community. Staff continually promote equality and opportunity on their behalf to ensure they are respected as individuals and are encouraged to take an active part in decisions affecting their lives.
