Placements with Ivory Cottage

Our residential home provides a homely environment where each young person has their own bedroom, space to relax and watch TV, or play games, and a shared kitchen where meals are freshly prepared. There is plenty of green space around the residential care home, with a football pitch, skate park, gym and space to ride bikes. Friendly and experienced residential care staff provide practical and emotional support, and have positive, trusting relationships with the young people. Dedicated key workers also provide a continuity of care.
The young people attend school by day, and in the evening, activities may be focused around specific interventions or leisure time in which they can meet friends, or enjoy other leisure activities such as going to the cinema, meeting friends or attending a local club.

What is Residential Care?

Residential care for young people is there to ensure their needs are met when they cannot live with their own family. They are a place for young people to develop and grow, as well as providing food, shelter, and space for play and leisure in a caring environment.

Addressing Specific Needs

Our residential care homes provide a safe, comfortable and supportive home for young people affected by adversity or trauma. Depending on need, young people will stay in a residential care home that provides the right level of support needed at that time.

Care and Support

Our homes are located within the local community. We are located close to schools, support services and recreation areas. Young people in residential care are supported by a range of services including psychological support, education, and health checks to provide a high level of support and help them achieve the best outcomes.

Current Properties

The residential house is small and homely and is home to 5 young people. In our homes, we strive to promote the values of healthy family living and provide young people with structure, personal space, respect and a relaxing environment.
