SERVICES

HOUSING and ACCOMMODATION

We provide 24 hour support for people living in residential homes in New Barnet and Friern Barnet; the homes are all registered with Commission for Social Care Inspection and have to meet the National Minimum Standards, for further information you can go to www. csci .org.uk

The Leicester Road house is in a quiet street in New Barnet and it is close to local shops, pubs, a cinema, parks and doctors. High Barnet is a quick bus ride away and the tube station is a short walk away.

	Warwick Road is also in New Barnet and enjoys the same local facilities as Leicester Road , both houses have single bedrooms and each has a self contained flat providing opportunity for greater independence.

 

Beaconsfield Road is in Friern Barnet and is again close to local amenities and links to public transport. All bedrooms are single and some have en-suite facilities.

 

The residential homes have 24-hour staff and they all have training to ensure that they are able to provide the right level of support to the service users.

There is an operational manual that lists all of the policies and procedures that Tamarisk Trust has and service users have an accessible copy of the policies that affect them.
