Welcome to Independence for me

Joe joined Independence For Me just under a year ago. Through the staffs understanding of adults with a need Joe has become a more confident young man. Their ability to adapt and bring out the best in Joe has been wonderful to see.  He has enjoyed a respite holiday away and lots of new experiences/activities which has allowed him to overcome his shyness; to be able to use his voice more; to ask for the things he needs.  Joe has flourished through the care, understanding, laughter and fun the service has offered. 

We have worked alongside Independence for me for many years and have to say they are one of the best day service providers in Northamptonshire. We have residents that attend their day service and really look forward to going. The range of activities and outings are exceptional. From learning daily living skills to arts and crafts and also mini breaks and days out. There is a really friendly, happy and busy atmosphere at Independence for me. It is well led, the staff are very knowledgeable on the clients who attend and they work in a person centred manner. We would recommend Independence for me to anyone who is looking for a day service provision.He has enjoyed a respite holiday away and lots of new experiences/activities which has allowed him to overcome his shyness; to be able to use his voice more; to ask for the things he needs.  Joe has flourished through the care, understanding, laughter and fun the service has offered. 

Hello my name is Curtis. I attend Independence for me - Daventry 4 days a week and have support 3 nights to help me cook, go shopping, go to the gym and go swimming. I like going because we go to nice places like garden centers, bowling, cinema and dancing. I also like going to Independence for me because I see my friends and have fun with everyone. The staff are lovely and help everyone. I like going out night clubbing with friends and staff too. This is what I like to do at Independence for me Daventry. Many thanks, Curtis.

I'm Heidi i joined Independance for me in July 2019 just after my 19th birthday, after leaving a special needs school I'd attended for 13 years. I am the youngest member of the family unit, everyone welcomed me as part of a large family unit understanding my individual needs, i require some personal 1:1 care, which the staff have required training, this they have taken in their stride to deal with. Leaving all my friends behind was a huge change for me to deal with but that did not hinder me blending in and making new friends straight away, everyone is so friendly and so helpful. I have great sense of humour and my laughter seems to brightens everyone's day. Since attending Independance for me, I have learned new life skills and improved the ones i already had. I enjoy cooking/baking which I have the opportunity to do weekly. Also going into the community and visiting lots of places, learning how much items cost and how to spend my money wisely. I always takes part in some form of exercise weekly, which include community dance, tai chi, shabam and swimming which i always revel in.I have grown and become so much more confident since joining.
