Case Studies
CASE STUDY: 1
Mr X came to Heron View in 2020 and prior to his placement with us he was based at HMP Thameside Prison in London. His placement team had identified that Mr X needed a specialist Residential Care Home that could support his ongoing Mental Health needs and Neurocognitive Disorder. When Mr X arrived at Heron View he settled into the service
within his first week and the team had a already set out a robust risk management and care plan that would support him while in the service. Mr X now considers Heron View as his home and enjoys planning and discussing how he intends to live his life in a least restrictive setting with the full support of his dedicated team.
CASE STUDY: 2
Mr X now actively engages with the daily activities that take place at the service and in the community such as table tennis, football, bingo, music class and gardening. Mr X is very happy at Heron View and is always thanking staff for supporting him in his new environment and offering him the tools and care to live out a meaningful and happy life.
