The Elms Community Centre

The Elms is part of our day service for adults with a learning disability and we can support up to 20 people here on any one day.

We take a person centred approach to care and will support people to develop skills and knowledge to help them to both express themselves and to feel confident within their local community.

We can support people to take part in a wide range of activities, either at our bases across Bury or out and about.  Here are some examples of the regular activities people take part in:

• cookery skills for pleasure, home and self development
• arts and crafts
• health and lifestyle – Gym, swimming, walking, movement to music, Wheels for All, toning table
• multi sensory stimulation/relaxation
• college and education support
• volunteering and work based assessments and training
• developing relationships with people outside of The Elms through shared activities

We also work with people to develop an individually tailored support plan with appropriate risk assessments. This makes sure we offer a service that is respectful and meets people's specific needs. This may include support with the following :-

• personal care, including supporting to go to the bathroom
• support with meals and nutrition
• support with medication 
• positive behavioural support
• safeguarding
• advice, information and signposting to other professionals/services

Facilities on site:
