When service users of Arrels become 65 years old they become eligible for access to a residence for older people, which for some is a frightening prospect. The Residence Programme, formed by 2 social worker and 6 volunteers, looks out for them so that they do not feel alone and endeavours to sustain the links they have with Arrels. The team visits people on a regular basis and tries to meet their individual needs.

Programme Coordinator
This programme is one of Arrels’ most recent initiatives. It was born in 2005 after we realized hat those of our service users who left Arrels to live in retirement homes still had needs and equired our attention.
