Supported Living
Windhill is a three story block of flats in Bishop's Stortford owned by the
Housing Association, Clarion. It accommodates up to 12 adults of varying
ages who have learning disabilities, epilepsy and other complex needs.
There are 6 single flats and 3 double flats. This is permanent
accommodation for those who live there.
The focus for the adults using the service is to live a quality life of their choosing, to be
active in the community and access the amenities in their local community for
activities and events. This may include pony and trap riding, swimming, shopping,
working at the farm, coffee mornings with friends and some voluntary work roles.
They may also choose to visit the Much Hadham site for the enterprise projects on
offer.
St Elizabeth’s provides Windhill with a team of permanent staff who are trained and
skilled to manage epilepsy and learning disabilities. They have all built strong
relationships with everyone who lives there. Adults living at Windhill are supported to
access all community resources to meet all of their health care needs.
Staff employed at Windhill by St Elizabeth’s receive training in epilepsy management
and bespoke training, on-going assessment and updates from both community and
our St Elizabeth’s Epilepsy Specialist Nurse.
Each individual who lives there holds a tenancy or licensing agreement. With consent
and the assessed levels of support required, tenants are supported to pay their bills
and manage their money.
Everyone living at Windhill meet monthly to discuss matters of importance to them
and the staff support with the actions and requests.
