Story
St Vincent's House is part of Father Hudson's supported living project in Coleshill. We have 10 tenants who live in St Vincent's House and they're all reaping the benefits of independent living within the community. All the tenants and staff at St Vincent's House have a fantastic working relationship with one another. Adults with disabilities, sensory impairments or learning difficulties are seen first for the person they are, not for the disability they have or the wheelchair they may use. Inclusivity and accessibility are not just words at Father Hudson's, they are a way of life. People find the care, understanding and support they need to live their lives on equal terms and to the full.
For many residents, their apartment at St Vincent's House is the first home of their own. Father Hudson's support workers help people with a range of daily tasks and to get involved in the community, go to voluntary or paid work and enjoy leisure and educational activities.
Ever since St Vincent's House opened in 2015, the tenants, their families and staff have always wanted a communal area to socialise in. St Vincent's is in dire need of a communal space where people can get together to socialise with each other, their families and their friends. It would reduce their risk of isolation in their own flats.
