"After 9 years at sea working as an engineer, and 15 years working ashore for shipping companies, I found myself living in unsuitable accommodation and subject to difficult living conditions in a shared house. A friend telephoned me, having found Care Ashore’s website, and after making the initial telephone enquiry I was offered accommodation within a matter of weeks.
I have lived here for five years, on the second floor in a very clean and comfortable flat. My neighbours are all like-minded ex seafarers, and we all look out for each other. The staff are all first class, offering support in numerous ways from organising outings and medical appointments, to helping me with some important legal problems. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff; problems are solved quickly, the food is excellent and accommodation is good value for money.
Living at Care Ashore has given me my independence back. I travel on the local community bus to nearby towns and I can get on with my day to day life worry-free, but I know I have help at hand if I need it." John
Each person in Springbok Radcliffe House has a bedroom, living room and private shower room. All rooms are ready furnished or bring your own to make it feel like home.
There is a lift to every floor, emergency call alarms in every room, and freshly cooked meals in the dining hall or shared kitchens if you want to cook.
The bungalows currently provided have one bedroom and are unfurnished dwellings. Some have had special adaptations to make them more accessible to those who may require it. Every bungalow has an emergency call system in case of a fall or sudden illness. In addition there many other provisions designed to make daily life as easy as possible and to encourage neighbours and residents to help and support each other.
There are 11 flats in total, these too have emergency alarms fitted at the request of the individual and receive the same support and services as the bungalows.
Five of the flats are located on the first floor and are best suited for those with no mobility difficulties.
Every effort is made by the Charity to ensure that residents are able to live as independent lives as possible. However it is recognised that some residents require more support than others and meals can be provided in the main dining room at the request of the individual.
