Campania

Campania is a large Victorian building over four floors in Weston-super-Mare, a short walk from the seafront, town and parks and is one of the provider’s, N.Notaro Homes Limited, 11 services. The home is registered for up to 41 people who are living with alcohol related problems such as Korsakoff’s syndrome. This meant that people required support with mental health challenges, memory loss, behaviours which could be challenging for staff and other physical effects of long term alcohol abuse. The service does not provide accommodation for people who are continuing to abuse alcohol and people sign an alcohol /illegal substance agreement before moving into the home. Therefore they knew when support could be withdrawn by the service, for example following persistent alcohol use, aggressive behaviour or engaging in illegal activities.
