Assessment Process

Rosemary Cottage strives to help residents to achieve greater independence, by providing a safe home and ongoing psychosocial support that is unique to each individual. Careful assessments of each person admitted to the home is carried out and carers aim, with the residents involvement, to put a package of care and support in place that will enable each person to be as independent as possible. We encourage the development of former skills and interests, as well as providing opportunities for new experiences to enrich residents lives. Additionally, by providing relapse prevention support in a safe and secure environment we intend to help our residents to achieve personal aspirations and maximise their abilities. The staff at Rosemary Cottage encourage links with a residents family; often lost when lives are disrupted by drug or alcohol abuse.

Our Philosophy

We offer skilled and professional care to enable the individuals supported by us to achieve their optimum state of health and well-being. We respect and encourage the individual uniqueness of residents, staff and visitors, and treat everyone with dignity and respect at all times. We encourage independence and the need for personal fulfilment, offering individualised programs of meaningful activities to satisfy the needs of residents and staff.
