About us
A place to feel like home.
At The Safehouse BD, we pride ourselves in having the opportunity to accommodate and provide support to Adults and Service Users aged 18 to 65. We also encourage and support our residents in accessing employment, education and training - with our help and dedication to ensure a smooth transition. Once individuals are at an independent level, they can shift to their own home. This is done by offering key-working sessions, which will assist them in building up skills in areas that require extra provision.
There is no timescale for when a Service User should be ready for his or her own home. This is done to ensure they are ready and prepared before taking this major step in their lives. Over this time, they will be set up with their own bank accounts, passport, benefits and anything else you would expect someone living independently to possess. When they are assessed as ready, staff will begin setting them up in their own homes. This will be a slow transition from semi-independence to a home of their choosing.
