The home is specifically registered to support individuals with a dual diagnosis. Each resident has a bespoke support plan, based on their personal preferences, likes and dislikes and goals in life.

Staff aim to support everyone to develop self-confidence and practical living skills, with the aim of moving on to a more independent setting. To support emotional and general wellbeing we offer in-house positive behaviour support, along with a commitment to ongoing education and personal development through structured activity programmes, both inside the home and out in the local community, including arts & crafts, cooking sessions and computer skills.

Clarendon House is particularly suited to individuals moving back to the area from a previous out-of-county placement and for those moving on from a secure hospital setting.
