The recently refurbished Gloucester Lodge has accommodation for four groups of five clients. Three of these dwellings contain five bedrooms with en suite shower rooms, a wheelchair accessible living room and kitchen. The fourth dwelling has five individual flatlets for people who are developing their independence. These are all staffed to provide 24 hr care. Life Skills Training.
