About Meyrick Cottage
Meyrick Cottage is a bright and modern four-bedroom home situated in Meyrick Park, with four ensuite rooms offering care and support to young adults with learning disabilities and autism. The house is located in a residential area and is a short walk from the local shops in Winton and Charminster. Bournemouth town centre can also be easily accessed with a short walk-through Meyrick Park.
Meyrick Cottage also has two self-contained studios, which allow young people to experience living more independently, whilst they build the skills and confidence to eventually move onto supported living.
The location
The home is ideally situated on bus routes with easy access to both Charminster and Winton. Also being next to the Meyrick Park recreation area. The park offers a great opportunity via a short walk to be in the bustling town centre of Bournemouth with all of its great facilities, such as the gardens and beaches and shopping area. We actively encourage all people requiring support to embrace the wonderful opportunities that the local area has to offer. For instance some people requiring support will plan and take short breaks along the lovely coastal areas of Dorset and Devon. The home is also a short walk away from a leisure centre with facilities to join in sports and fitness activities and housing a large swimming pool.
Independent Living
Meyrick Cottage also has two rooms which cater for those who are preparing for more independent living in the future. Here the residents can enjoy the benefits of having support when they need it, but also more independence as they grow in confidence with independent living skills. Support is available with shopping, money management and all household skills if needed. So the residents feel both challenged and supported at the same time. Thus in time, and at their own pace, developing skills to move into a more independent setting. The overarching aim of Meyrick Cottage and its team is to support the residents to do the things they love.
