Burgess House
Burgess House provides short-break respite care for up to eight adults with learning difficulties. Subject to availability people and or their representatives can choose the date and length of their stay at the service which is taken from their local authority allocation.
An emergency service for up to two people who are unable to return home is also provided at Burgess House. This means that people move into the service and, for many reasons, may be unable to return home, this could be because of a safe guarding incident for example. These people could be there a few weeks or a few years depending on the situation.
People are referred to the service by the local authority and are supported by staff to find a new place to live.
